Worst three months since 1930s: Australia in recession as global cases pass 6.4m

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says Australia narrowly avoided economic 'Armageddon,' but the full economic impact of the lockdown was still to come.

Recap: Australia has entered a recession; US protests in 25 virus hot spots

Here's what made headlines across Australia yesterday, from our daily coronavirus newsletter (which you can subscribe to below):
It's the news we have all been dreading, but expecting: Australia is in recession.

Battered by record drought, a horror bushfire season and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the economy is on track to experience its worst three months since the 1930s.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said Australia narrowly avoided economic "Armageddon", but the full economic impact of the lockdown was still to com

Australia recorded an additional eight COVID-19 cases overnight, seven in Victoria and one in Western Australia. The national death toll stands at 102.
Travel to and from New Zealand - sans quarantine - is getting even closer. But if you were hoping to book with Flight Centre, word is, it won't return to normal operations until all international travel is up and running (or flying, as it were).

Nearly 20 per cent of charities could collapse if government financial support provided during the crisis is withdrawn in October.

In the US, fiery protests over the killing of George Floyd entered their eighth day, taking place in all of the 25 communities with the highest concentrations of new virus cases.

Trump cops blowback for his actions as thousands protest, violate curfew

 Over 60% of Americans polled believe Trump is leading the country in the wrong direction

 President Donald Trump faced blowback from religious leaders, some Republican politicians and ex-military leaders for his controversial threat to deploy the military in US cities and his decision to stage a photo opportunity at a church near the White House after protesters were forcibly cleared from the area.

 Washington, DC, saw its biggest protests since the shocking death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week, with a distinct diversity of different ages and races represented at marches throughout the capital.

Guess Trump will attempt to convince America Antifa has members of all colours, genders, ages from every demographic including Australian TV companies. 

 

Most Americans sympathise with protests, oppose Trump's response: poll

The poll underscored the political risks for Trump, who has adopted a hardline approach and threatened to deploy the US military to quell violent dissent.

Trump’s Threats to Antifa Are an Affront to Black Agency and a Risk to All Protest

The KKK used to blame Communists for Black protests. Trump blames Antifa (ODT)

Firstly are groups who come together under the “Antifa” banner, but there is zero centralized leadership or membership structure.
 Secondly, the U.S. has no statutes under which groups are designated domestic terror organizations. The U.S. government only formally designates foreign groups as “terrorist organizations”
Thirdly it's a racist trope to suggest that black communities could not rise up and self-organize huge revolutionary action. In every major city, it is abundantly clear that these uprisings are being led by young black people.
 Saturday it was claimed 81 per cent of protest arrestees were not locals; numerous press reports, however, found that over 80 per cent of arrestees had local addresses.

TONIGHT: WHITES APOLOGISING FOR WHITENESS IN THESE RACE RIOTS. AND DO ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER?

On The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm: the race rioters claim "black lives matter", but there's some that don't Not to them. And in this race war, is there anything more pathetic that seeing whites apologise for their race? Watch three bizarre examples and feel your toes curl. With Mark Latham, Rowan Dean, Rita Panahi, Daniel Wild.

Andrew Bolt might well say "is there anything more pathetic than seeing whites apologise for their race. Well, the Germans don't feel pathetic for having said sorry for what they did to Gypsies and Jews in WW2. They are even more proud of teaching their dark past and current sorrow in their schools as an essential part of their shameful history. No that's wrong as far as Bolt is concerned it's better to simply forget it. The Dutch after all haven't shone a light on the fact they killed more of their own Jews than the Germans did. Only 20% survived. It sickened Bolt watching Australians saying sorry for 200 years of Colonial brutality. As far as he's concerned never happened.
 

PRESS COUNCIL DEFENDS CHILD GURU GRETA THUNBERG

It’s getting harder to have an honest discussion, when even the Press Council would rather hear sweet green fables than blunt truths. Take its latest ruling, defending the goddess of global warming, Greta Thunberg.  It seems I may safely tell a falsehood — that Thunberg’s disabilities are “superpowers” — but cannot truthfully say they’re not.

04/06/2020 

Andrew Bolt demeans himself when he expects us to believe that he's wiser and more intelligent when all he can do is smear  Greta Thunberg rather than attending to the arguments she puts forward. To Bolt's chagrin Greta is now supported by every major institutional body both private and public in the world. While the world asks Andrew who? Bolt's support is literally next to none.  Tony Abbott was kicked out of office by none other than Greta supporters for believing and advocating the opposite of her. 

GEORGE FLOYD: ABC INCITING RACE WAR HERE, TOO

COLUMN Race riots are destroying the US. Yet the ABC is now trying to import the toxic race politics that inspired this mayhem into Australia. It urges us to not just feel rage at the killing in Minneapolis of a black man, George Floyd, by a white police officer, but to rage at supposed racism here. And it announces we even have our own George Floyd.

04/06/2020 

 No Trump is and has been on that course inciting a race war.  In the past, the KKK declared black Americans were being manipulated by the Communists. Here Trump is saying it's Antifa. African Americans haven't the intelligence to organize. However, 400 cities prove Trump is making things up to deflect the blame.

 The ABC is Australia's most trusted news and information agency with twice the respect held than News Corp. Bolt denies racism exists in Australia and even more denies over 430 Indigenous Australians have died in custody since 1991. Further Bolt denies the death of an Indigenous man  David Dungay was by asphyxiation at the hands of security guards and like Floyd was yelling he couldn't breathe. Quite frankly Bolt's only explanation for the statistics on the excessive death in 3% of Australia's population at the hands of our Institutions is racist. They are Black and therefore....

 

 

 

BROOKE BONEY SHOULD APOLOGISE FOR PROMOTING DAVID DUNGAY AS OUR GEORGE FLOYD

The race-baiting of Brooke Boney is a disgrace: "'I can’t breathe…' No, that’s not... what happened to George Floyd... but the last conversation David Dungay Jnr had...with five men on top of him inside a cell in a jail in Sydney... An Aboriginal man can die because he was eating a biscuit when he wasn’t supposed to be." What a distortion.

04/06/2020 

What is it Andrew Bolt is saying here? If it makes any sense, please explain. Why was Dungay entitled to die? 

 

GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS BASED ON A LIE: THERE IS NO SYSTEMIC POLICE RACISM

Heather MacDonald: "African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops... [But] shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects... [Blacks] made up 53 per cent of known homicide offenders." But a cop is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black to be killed by a cop.

04/06/2020 

In terms of guns held in America whites are more likely than Blacks to be armed. That's reflected in the number of mass shootings conducted by white Americans as opposed to blacks. Statistics indicate unarmed black Americans are shot more often than whites are. That's a fact that even Bolt can't deny only avoid. 

Trump has done everything including lie rather than admit that he's fueled the increasing protests now occurring in America and around the rest of the world.  The nitpicking that Bolt's turned to here is only an attempt to confuse. Trump is being rebuked by his own most senior officials. Bolt avoids even mentioning it and the Republicans show they are less united. Where is McConnel?

 

 

TURNING THIS INTO AN ANTI-WHITE RIOT

Whites getting mob-attacked. White businesses singled out. Groups of whites apologising for their white guilt. This is not a protest against racism. It is morphing into a demand for another racism.

04/06/2020 

 It seems whites worldwide are in fear according to Bolt. People in his neighbourhood simply don't understand and haven't a clue why they are being attacked by multigenerational diverse racial and cultural groups all around the world. Innocents in a total fog. If they are so unintelligent why are they given a vote? Bolt seems to suggest this is the "new" racism. However, the reason for the protests in the first place, Floyd's death, wasn't a case. His argument there was nothing racist to be seen in George Floyd's death. 

The protests, however, have moved on from that and now the anger is against the increasing authoritarianism of the pathetic Trump administration blaming everyone but their incompetence in handling what's happening. So much so divisions can be seen among Trump's most senior personnel. Gen Esper has come out against Trump's suggestion he had the support of the military when he hasn't. Esper has made it clear he feels he's been scammed and politicised by irresponsibly by Trump

 

NO, NOT ALL LIVES MATTER TO THESE PROTESTERS

Which Black Lives Matter, exactly? Is it only the ones taken by whites? What about the many more killed by blacks? What about 18-year-old Britney Watson,  mother two, killed and dumped in a wheelie bin in the Pilbara, without the ABC noticing? Clearly not all lives matter. Not even all black lives matter. I discussed this with Rowan Dean. Watch.

Spin to confuse conflate anything and everything to muddy the waters.
