Brexit ho: Tony Abbott’s trade deal role
Tony Abbott |
Between 20 March and 31 July, the Australian Border Force received 87,600 applications seeking exemption from the travel ban. Only 15 per cent of requests were approved.Given such figures, Labor Senator Penny Wong fulminated, linking cool government shortcutting with hard coronavirus realities:
‘Now Tony Abbott leaves for a breakfast meeting about a plum foreign government job. But other Australians can’t visit dying relatives.’
Australia’s
controversial ex-Prime Minister and vocal Brexit supporter Tony Abbott
is set to take on a new role for Boris Johnson.
Australians before Covid carried the world's highest rate of personal debt.
The economic cataclysm brought on by the coronavirus caught American consumers in an extremely precarious position — one that was evident well before more than 50 million people filed for unemployment. By the end of last year, Americans had racked up nearly $4.2 trillion in consumer debt, not including mortgage debt — a record high. Online Lenders Could Trigger a New Consumer Financial Crisis
FAKE NEWS
GEORGE FLOYD DIED AFTER OVERDOSE. WHY WEREN'T RIOTERS TOLD?
COLUMN
Three months ago, prosecutors got terrible news: George Floyd probably
wasn’t murdered by racist white police, after all. No, Floyd — filmed
lying in a gutter with a policeman’s knee on his neck — had taken an
overdose of fentanyl. All those Black Lives Matter riots that have raged
for months were seemingly based on a lie that was hushed up.
Andrew Bolt has taken the defence's argument and decided to declare it to be the fact in the case. He's made his decision. Floyd was pleading, yes pleading for the cop to take his knee off his neck because he couldn't breathe. The knee firmly planted on Floyd's neck for 11 minutes remained and stayed there even after he'd passed out. How is it Andrew Bolt in Australia and the cop at the time took it upon themselves to deny that truth that Floyd couldn't breathe? Floyd was beyond struggling we all saw that. He was beyond resisting or fighting back and there were 3 policemen present. Yet they did absolutely nothing to check Floyd's state of being. They weren't called out for anything more than a fake $20 bill.
To put it in simple terms are police entitled to carry out arrests in this manner on persons who may or may not have taken drugs be they legal or illegal and if they die to claim no irresponsibility for their mode of operation or actions that took place. Can murder only be judged to have happened if the suspect was known to be in perfect AAA health? But then how is that to be ever known? What Bolt is saying police can never be responsible for any death. Bolt's the life insurance salesman he'll sell you a policy but won't ever payout because everyone has a preexisting condition.
If Floyd had been an epileptic, a diabetic had a heart condition was anaemic or being treated for any condition the policeman would be completely innocent. However Bolt, however, takes it on himself to deny any prior history the policeman might have had also to be irrelevant if charges were to be laid. The uniform largely absolves them of any crimes.
One needs to ask why Bolt is raising this incident as if it were central to the BLM protests that have been occurring across the country. When it isn't just one event that have brought on the protests. 7 shots in the back, the death of protesters at the hands of white militia and a shit load of history has brought this on.
The record stands the probability of a black person 13% of the population in America of being shot by police is x10 + times that of a white. Yet whites own something like 90% of the weapons in the country. Guess Bolt can't argue "it's their culture " as he does Indigenous Australians that makes them deserving of the treatment they recieve. He can't really argue that America hasn't a history of racism. Well, he can if he's a racist in denial because that's the argument they'd be trying to sell and he does the same here.
HOW MANY AUSTRALIANS MUST DIE IN THIS WAR AGAINST HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE?
Australians may be dying because many politicians and
bureaucrats would apparently rather ignore studies that now say
hydroxychloroquine works than admit Trump may have been right. Think of
that, if you watch a loved relative die. The worst example: Labor
demanding Parliament censure a Liberal MP for pointing to yet more
studies backing the drug.

Use of hydroxychloroquine may still be considered in the context of randomised trials with appropriate ethical approval, such as combination therapies that include hydroxychloroquine.
