Sydney bus drivers have dropped threats of a 48-hour strike over the government's refusal to mandate face masks on public transport.

Sydney bus drivers have dropped threats of a 48-hour strike over the government's refusal to mandate face masks on public transport. The Rail, Tram and Bus Union wrote to Premier Gladys Berejiklian earlier this week calling for mandatory masks on services where passengers outnumber social-distancing stickers.

The strike action was called off after a review was agreed to during a meeting with government officials. Transport Minister Andrew Constance has welcomed the cancellation, saying "I would like to thank the Rail, Tram and Bus Union for its decision to call off next week's 48 hour bus strike". "Following constructive discussions with the union's leadership we will work towards a meeting on Monday," he said.

AFL, Sydney Swans condemn racist abuse of Elijah Taylor following COVID hub breachThe AFL and the Swans show their support for the 19-year-old, after he was the target of racist abuse on social media in the wake of his COVID-19 protocol breach. Well it's a possibility telling people relentlessly not to be racist you'll always trigger that small minded group to do the opposite of what you asked them not to do! psychologists might have a word for it! The AFL would’ve advised this 19 year old adult to post a social media statement in an attempt to get support from the community. The AFL are responsible for whatever comments followed. The social media world is not a sanitised domain. Poor advise by AFL.
