At a time when it seems maleness is “under attack”, Sky News host She said it took “enormous courage” for “ordinary people carrying nothing more than chairs and milk crates” to run towards danger and subdue the alleged attacker.
Ms Panahi noted “more often than not” it’s men who risk their personal safety to save strangers from harm. “Boys and men are under attack for inherent traits that are neither harmful nor toxic but almost always presented in those terms,” she said. “It's time to stop demonising masculinity, manhood, chivalry and boyish bravado.”
What the heck has masculinity got to do with it? Several people showed courage. It had NOTHING to do with their gender except for the fact that the guy wasn't actually likely to attack them as he was just after women.
Who ever said it wasn’t?!
But was it sexist? Should they not of ensured adequate diversity and social inclusion in their group before subduing the terrorist?
Why didn’t any women help?
What about act one of this tragedy?
Only as a checkmate
Offs.
You imbeciles. There's nothing masculine about stabbing innocent people. Just like there's nothing feminine about driving your kids off a bridge. You're being sold a box of lies. Pls stop
'Sobering reminder that HUMANITY can be a much-desired quality'. Fixed it for you
Yes it can. And we need to have a good hard look at these fucking drugs people are getting from the doctors
Am I missing anything here. Has anyone looked at the facts or just jumped on the man hating train?This man had a serious mental health issue. He was a significant danger to all sexes and his case was poorly managed. I’m not defending Rita just saying look at facts first
Well said Rita. Watch out for the feminist attack though. They won’t like what you said as true as it was.
I actually have the upmost respect for these guys. They had NO hidden agenda. Have some decency Rita. It's not about you
Huh again. Relevance ..It's 2019.
Huh...
Bravo, Rita! Truth telling at its finest. Those courageous men deserve to get medals.
Absolutely. We saw young men raised very well.
Masculinity should be celebrated.... it is what makes men, men, it makes them protect and act selflessly. There were no women chasing this guy and they didn't have to... the men had it covered... as it should be. Thank you! You were awesome!
JJA2819 More like much-needed quality
No, “bravery” is a desirable human trait that anyone can display. Nice try though.
moving in on miranda's grift, hey.
He was a Brit you Aussie softcocks
right… lack of “masculinity” didn’t seem to stop him murdering someone so…
Yeah, this is just gross.
Huh?
paul_anforth They should get Australians of the year award so proud that we have decent men here willing to step in
Blahahahaha
was she drunk at the time?
A story in two parts... mentalgymnastics
What a sad little Persian boat person she is
Why is there a Rita pannini? And why is she given a platform? WHO LISTENS TO THEM AND SAYS “wow! That’s an awesome thing to say!! It shocks and hurts people! Heaps! Give her her own show!!’
Ok but like toxic masculinity is what led that dude to run a couple of women through with a knife in the first place so I don’t think Rita’s thought this through.
Oh dear. I've successfully stopped people trying to attack me before - two men actually - and I'm a female. Perhaps I should transition as I MUST be a male if I can do that. Also 'maleness' is not under attack but bad behaviours.
Eeew....thought in 2019, she’d be a better role model for her sisterhood back in India.
Maleness isn't under attack. Masculinity isn't under attack. Bravery & courage in males isn't under attack either. *Toxic* masculinity, which wouldn't have helped here, is under attack.
2019 👉43 women murdered 👉4 heroes Rita really knows how to follow a news lead.
It would be more accurate to say masculinity (toxic, patriarchal masculinity) caused the murder in the first place. Apprehending a criminal has nothing to do with masculinity or femininity; it is bravery and compassion that leads people to risk their safety to help others.
Masculinity killed her Rita
Rita Panahi get a grip...”sobering reminder” holy mollie
Spot on.
Huh? Wasn't it 'masculinity' that was at the centre of this ghastly attack? Wasn't it 'masculinity' that took a young woman's life with a knife and then terrorise Sydney's CBD?
Another week another woman violently murdered by a man in Australia but for Rita, Michaela Dunn's tragic death is just another opportunity to score points in the culture war. Completely vile.
A sobering reminder that toxic masculinity kills one woman a week...Rita is quite a dim bulb the poor thing
What?
NOBODY is saying masculinity is bad. Toxic masculinity is not ALL masculinity. It's like you people are being willfully stupid
She's right.
Eff off Panahi. Hypocrite of the highest order trying to attack feminists using ironically the event of a murdered woman to do so. Evil people you are.
No good deed will ever go unpunished by Australian authorities, RitaPanahi
Because in a time of crisis, no one looks to a feminist for help

Tuvalu will be ‘uninhabitable before it goes under water’ | Sky News AustraliaThe decision to host the 50th Pacific Islands Forum in a tiny nation “vulnerable” to minor sea level rises is a tell-tale sign climate change will dominate the agenda, Director of the Lowy Institute’s Pacific Islands Program Jonathan Pryke says.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison and his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern are among the Pacific leaders taking part in the forum in Tuvalu, a country of about 11,000 people north of Fiji in the South Pacific.\n\n“The highest point of the country is four metres above sea level; when a king tide hits, you’re basically wading around in water,” Mr Pryke said.\n\n“Before this country even goes under water, it is going to become uninhabitable because of a number of other factors: salination of the water table, so just running out of fresh water, the fact they won’t be able to grow anything in their soil and then also the ever-growing prevalence of natural disasters.\n\n“It’s no surprise that climate change is going to be front-and-centre.\n\n“What the Pacific leaders want is not more money thrown into the region to help mitigate climate change, it’s more domestic action in Australia to help reduce climate change in the first place.”\n\nThe Morrison Government announced earlier in the week a $500 million five-year plan to help Pacific nations invest in renewable energy and increase their resilience to climate change and natural disasters.\n\n“Credit to Scott Morrison for showing up all the same,” Mr Pryke said. \n\n“He knew he was going to be the bad guy in the room.”\n\nImage: AP FakeNews here, just the facts?

Fears Chinese intervention in HK ‘could be terribly violent’ | Sky News AustraliaExecutive Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute Peter Jennings says Beijing is “quite publicly signalling” they are prepared to enter Hong Kong to retain order, which “could be terribly violent”.\n\nSpeaking to Sky News, Mr Jennings said he is fearful of a “Tiananmen Square style response” and that China is “building the foundations” to explain why it might need to intervene.\n\nMr Jennings said Australia needs to bring more attention to the protests and should be “a good international citizen” that stands up for human rights and “appropriate values”.\n\n“Our penchant to want to look the other way because of our economic relationship with China will not be sustainable if we have the situation where the People’s Liberation Army march into Hong Kong,” he said.\n\nImage: AP\n ASPI_org Stand and Deliver: Australia should open the door to Hongkongers - well educated true democrats...we could learn a trick or two👍 ASPI_org They place is anarchy.

Australia a ‘parallel universe’ when it comes to public service wages | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Economics Editor Adam Creighton says Australia has become a “parallel universe” where very high public sector wages are “considered normal”.\n\nRBA Governor Philip Lowe has called for public and private sector wages to increase by three per cent, but Mr Creighton told Sky News this would be “very expensive” and “an extraordinary extra burden for taxpayers”.\n\nImage: Getty Adam_Creighton So people will continue not to spend and less goods will be purchased and less goods will be produced and less people will be employed and circle the drain we will.

‘Great irony’ of legal system is arrests aren’t based on intention | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says “one of the great ironies” of the legal system is that people can’t be arrested based on their intention.\n\nMr Jones said “much will be said” about the man who is allegedly responsible for a stabbing attack in Sydney on Tuesday and his history of mental illness and weapons charges. \n\n“But as the police rightly say, and to be fair to the courts, the history of his previous behaviour bears no relationship to the horrific episodes of yesterday,” he said. \n\nThe broadcaster said the incident can be “simply summed up by saying, this is the world of today”.\n\nImage: Getty AlanJones Liberal party gave him bail AlanJones Oh I see avoid discussing mental health. Policing court process. Presumption of innocence and fair trial. policing halts continuation of a dynamic situation that causes society harm. Unless you wish a police state without rule of law? AlanJones Yes and that man is the magistrate who released him.
