The United States is experiencing a repeat of the civil rights protests and the anti-war movement from the 1960s when about 25 cities burned – a response to deep-seated racism which public policy legislation could help remedy, RMIT University Professor Joe Siracusa says. “We have a perfect storm here: we have the denial of justice to a man who was killed in front of social media at a time of social claustrophobia from the pandemic,” he told Sky News. “This is about institutional racism. This is showing a lot of Americans things have to be done now. “You can’t make racism go away overnight, it might even be in the DNA of certain nations, but you can, of course, legislate public policy, you could legislate what the police can do and what they can’t do. “Every time a policeman kills somebody in custody, police unions complain that nothing should happen and the Supreme Court gives the police a little bit of leeway, and this is something that has to be dealt with in terms of legislation.” I...

Law enforcement officers have ramped up their response to thousands of protestors in Minneapolis, administering tear gas, pepper spray and mace on crowds. Violent protests have taken place across the United States in retaliation for the death of unarmed black man George Floyd who was killed by police in Minneapolis last week. Authorities have implemented a curfew, with police unleashing mace and tear gas on those found outside their homes after 8pm. Protestors are calling for all four police officers involved in the arrest and death of Mr Floyd to be taken into custody, saying they will continue to fight until it is carried out.

The Australian Hotels Association’s John Green says Monday’s easing of restrictions in New South Wales “will be a gamechanger” to the hospitality industry. From Monday New South Wales venues can serve 50 customers. Restrictions on weddings, funerals and church services will also ease in New South Wales from this week, with up to 20 permitted. “To have 10 patrons in a venue that takes 800 to 1,000 is quite difficult,” Mr Green told Sky News, referring to previous restrictions in the state. “But when you’re talking about 50 patrons it means we can start to get our staff back into employment. “Our members tell us it will be about 44,000 (staff) from this week back into employment.” Image: Getty from National | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/3drMgc4

Sky News contributor Michael Ware says “it’s very hard to describe to Australians just how enormous” the riots across the United States are. The violent demonstrations that have spread over more than 30 cities broke out after the death of unarmed black man George Floyd, who was killed by police. “I can’t recall anything like this ever happening in Australia,” Mr Ware told Sky News. “This is north to south, east to west,” he said. “There are 36 cities that are essentially ablaze. “And I’m sitting here right now 2,471 kilometres away from the street where poor George Floyd died and I’m in a state of emergency.” Image: AP from World | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/3djMvWk

Liberal MP Andrew Hastie says The Global Times “serves as a propaganda mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party” and “the intent of naming me, Senators James Paterson and Kimberley Kitching was to intimidate us”. “And to make us go quiet, which we won’t,” Mr Hastie told Sky News. The Global Times published an article during the week which likened the current anti China sentiment to the revival of the White Australia Policy. The article also explicitly mentioned the aforementioned Australian parliamentarians. “All it does is further harden our position, not in a bad sense but in defence of Australian sovereignty,” Mr Hastie said. “It’s part of a push to effectively whip countries onto their side. “They’ll target individuals who speak their mind and I think that’s just part of a global approach to information operations which they use.” Image: AP from World | Daily Telegraph https://ift.tt/2B9H3XR

Ms Seibt is currently being threatened with imprisonment by German authorities after she refused to take down three of her videos, with authorities claiming her videos do not comply with the law. “They are abusing these crisis’ to push tyranny and to silence the people who have different opinions or who do their research,” Ms Seibt told Sky News. “Once again we can see that state going against people like me and trying to silence us,” she said. “I made them (the videos) because I do stand by what I say, and I do question the science behind the climate change mainstream agenda”. “I do believe most climate activists don’t know what they’re talking about and there is so much propaganda being put out there. “We need to push against this and fight for more climate realism and freedom of speec...

Sky News host Rita Panahi says Twitter's decision to 'fact check' Donald Trump shows social media's "double standards in policing speech" where "conservatives are banned for infractions that don’t seem to apply to hard Left account holders who can spew all sorts of defamatory abuse and threats." Earlier this week Twitter fact checked US President Donald Trump’s account, adding a warning label on two of his tweets regarding mail in ballots and voter fraud with a link to a CNN factcheck. “And while Twitter targets Trump it allows the deranged, genocidal rants of Iran's supreme leader even though Twitter is banned in the Islamic Republic,” Ms Panahi said. “Twitter also seems untroubled by Chinese government propagandists spreading crazy conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19 on their platform”. “Accidentally misgender a dude with a full beard who identifies as a pixie and you'll be suspended quick smart but any sort of deranged abuse ...

US President Donald Trump has urged officials in Minnesota to “get tougher” on protestors, as officers brace for a fifth night of unrest in Minneapolis. His death has been condemned from across the political spectrum, with the officer who knelt on Mr Floyd's neck, Derek Chauvin, charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Former advisor to first lady Hillary Clinton Barbara Heineback says the punishment for a police officer charged over the death of George Floyd “must fit the crime”. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter after being filmed kneeling on 46-year-old George Floyd’s neck before his death. Ms Heineback told Sky News “murder three is not going to do anything to allow the community to become restful, it’s only going to exacerbate people”. “The punishment must fit the crime and too many police have gotten away with too much for too long and that does not help to bring about a peaceful resolve,” she said. Ms Heineback said US President Donald Trump was also exacerbating the situation in Minneapolis, where protests continue to rage over the death. In response to a tweet Mr Trump published which said “when the looting starts the shooting starts”, Ms Heineback said “there are so many times I wish he would just put a c...

Despite this, Mr Lucas said the "Treasury's missed expectations around spending" likely resulted in incorrect numbers around deferred loans which surprised investors as bank stocks saw decent gains in recent times.
