Aussie supergroup Thrillsong protests Hillsong double standard

While Jews were raided and heavily fined for 'illegally' gathering and Music is banned under threat of heavy fines Hillsong's rave got off Scott Free. Now that’s a statement not given the media coverage it deserved. While tennis brings $250M business into Australia Music brings $15 Bn yet musicians were given little support by the Morrison government and currently none. Venues have been closed at a Scott Cost to them.

A group of some of the most acclaimed musicians in Australia have banded together to form a supergroup named Thrillsong, designed to draw attention to the inconsistencies in the government’s approach to live events, as evidenced by the Hillsong gig that went down this week.

Do not be fooled Morrison’s Government can be right for the wrong reasons at one and the same time. Distraction the primary purpose for doing the most popular action doesn’t remove the stain of Morrison’s pandemic cock up. If easy for Morrison to crow for kicking Djokovic out for being a "silent anti-vaxxer", why is it so difficult not to speak up against George Christensen out for being a "loud one"?

While COVID-19 overwhelms Australia’s health system, Scott Morrison’s government has spent the week trying to deport tennis star Novak Djokovic. It’s a cynical attempt to distract from a major public health disaster.

 Government greed is ruining our economy

 Neoliberalism and poor government management over the years have been detrimental to a flourishing economy.

"The Government is a risk to civil order and public health"

Government deports itself for stoking anti-vax sentiment


 

My thought for the day Lying in the media is wrong at any time; however, it is even more so when they do it by deliberate omission. Murdoch’s papers seem to do it with impunity. ( John Lord )

 PM Scott Morrison came out strongly against Novak Djokovic again this week, claiming “rules are rules … no one is above these rules”. Yet the list of this government’s broken rules is prolific. From sports rorts, au pairs, parliamentary entitlements, environmental standards, action on climate to Christian Porter. Callum Foote and Michael West on brazen hypocrisy.

Yes, “rules are rules” Scott, you invent them, break them, subvert them and ignore them


 

The flooding of the media by the Djokovic case has tangentially drawn attention to Australia’s draconian border enforcement and the plight of the refugees who have been held hostage for nine years.When Morrison was told about the declining health and the neglect and abuse of children in detention, he denied it and accused advocates of promoting self-harm. When told that refugees are suffering torture, he claimed our strong borders make that necessary. Which makes his newfound concern about the mental health issues caused by state border closures sound very hollow.It really doesn’t matter what issue is facing the nation, risk assessment and expert advice are ignored in favour of tame consultants, ministerial decree, contracts without tender, grants without due process, and appointments without merit. We have panels and departments and commissions and reviews to make recommendations – all routinely ignored. To have such unerring confidence that you know better is foolhardy.Australia is paying a high price for Morrison’s hubris.

 Sending a wealthy tennis star home after he breached visa entry rules made too much sense for a country whose citizens have paid a high price in the pandemic.

The political cost of letting Djokovic stay was too high for Morrison

SCOTT MORRISON MAKE RAPID TESTS FREE!'

It’s a dang good thing we’re winning the cricket because the government has collapsed. Scott Morrison’s Team Australia has left the health system to fail; the virus is out of control, tracking and testing has crashed, and Liberal Party corporate mates Harvey Norman and Chemist Warehouse are profiteering. Michael West looks at the price of Scomo’s “personal responsibility”.

Morrison's Australian Dream

 Novak Djokovic’s posted to Instagram confirming that he had been granted an “exemption permission” to play in Melbourne.

OOPS!!

After being held at Melbourne Airport for hours, the world No.1 has been told his visa has been rejected and that he will be flown out of Australia later today.
