  1. My family died in multiple wars to protect our rights. Let these people express their opinions. We live in a democracy. Deal with it. Or shut up.

  2. No the judge wasn't biased, he offered Trump accommodations that no person who was not as rich and powerful as Trump would EVER be offered. And he published those extra accommodations on the court website. A ordinary person would have been been in jail months ago for making such threats. Trump was treated with kid gloves.

  3. What utter nonsense.

  4. No other defendant in the USA is allowed to speak in summation if they have legal counsel. (Discussed widely in the US) The judge made special exceptions for Trump. Through email with counsel the judge allowed three opportunities for Trump to agree to not lie, bring up irrelevant information, threaten or give a campaign speech. Trump's counsel missed all three deadlines. This was posted on the court website for all to see. Why wasn't these emails part of your news video so both sides could be examined? Three times Trump was offered this extraordinary opportunity to speak within guidelines (like not threatening court workers) and he would not agree not to lie, give misinformation or not do a campaign speech. The judge discusses this at length in the emails which Sky could have gotten off the court website. Trump's lawyers didn't check the box for the jury trial. Anyone else who behaved like Trump did would have been in jail months ago. Definitely a two tiered justice system. One for the rich and one for everyone else. The statute Trump was being prosecuted under didn't require harm, a victim or intent, so Sky is misrepresenting the actual court case proceedings themselves.

  5. Donald Trump has never done a proper press conference. He never goes on any TV shows except FOX "News".

  6. Australia gives $29 billion dollars to the fossil fuel companies. I would like accountability for that money.

  11. Trump has recently talked about running and winning against Obama. (Trump never ran against Obama) Trump also confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi three times and said Niki was in charge of security on January 6th. (She wasn't) Why aren't you covering Trump's gaffes?

  29. The third company used for the hotel program - Unified - it was not part of the pre-approved panel of service providers that allowed certain firms to be contracted at short notice. But the other two Wilson and MSS Security were on a federally vetted list. So who screwed up the vetting federally?

  40. Trump's LIES were fact checked on FOX news in detail. Emergency services asked for politicians not to visit until search and rescue efforts were finished. Because of the resources they use which were needed to save Americans. Biden organised a billion dollars of aid and had emergency services on the ground before it hit. Biden and Harris have been in constant contact with the Governors who said in their Press Conferences that Biden offered them anything that they needed.

  49. Alan Jones is covering up, like all main stream media the child deaths from Covid19 which are happening the whole world over. Trump's son is not going back to school. Morrison said his kids are 'enrolled' but wouldn't say if they were going to school or not. These child deaths are not being reported in the Australian media. When Morrison was saying schools were safe WHO was saying they need protection. The Australian media didn't even bother to google "Covid19 Child Deaths" so they have been complicit in not educating parents that they need to protect their kids. I did and there were are a lot and there are more all the time. In America the media discuss whether the children who have died had pre-existing conditions or not. All around the world the media discusses that but not in Australia. “From the start, we were told that the virus doesn’t affect young people. We believed it, like everyone else,” Sabine said. Her daughter had no known underlying health problems. https://t.co/Lx9RkE6KE8?amp=1

  54.  @duncanquick8282  HCQ was removed because those who received it were more likely to die than those that got no treatment. Doctors won't use something that kills patients, that's not unreasonable.

  55. You reached the point of no return and here you are now on Sky telling lies again. The majority who died in aged care were in Federally run aged care facilities which are Morrison's responsibility. Quarantine is also a Federal responsibility. Yr 11s were able to do that research. The private security firms are on a list that was vetted by the Federal government once again Federal responsibility. ASIO also uses them.

  79. Hundreds of children are dying from Covid19 the world over. Parents are speaking out about their healthy children dying from Covid29 without pre-existing conditions. Children being alive is really important. If we let them die like they are in US then we have no moral leg to stand on.

The judge offered three opportunities for Trump to agree to not threaten or give a campaign speech. He would not agree. These emails are available to be read on the court's website.

  89.  @convert313  What you believe and what is fact are two different things. Taiwan tested on planes, and gave each adult 2 masks per week, and each child 2 masks per week. Along with social distancing, hand washing, temperature taking, extensive quarantine & allocating massive resources enabled them to not need to lock down & not have wide spread virus in their communities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkB0k81oNiI
    1
  90.  @convert313  You are correct you do need to wear eye protection as well in high risk situations like all the medical professionals do. Look up Taiwan. They have the best Covid19 response in the world and are excluded due to the Chinese Communist Party. I have friends teaching there, their lives have had no disruption at all. All students and teachers wear masks to school and they have specially trained cleaners that are paid very well and clean the schools. Students temperatures are taken before the go to school. They have had no lock downs but no one covers them that much because China doesn't want them to be accepted as not being part of China. China got them excluded from WHO. Taiwan didn't trust the Chinese so sent their own doctors to Wuhan to check out what was going on. They immediately started testing in planes and cancelled the New Year Celebrations in January.

  91. ​ Richard Cross  so show me photos of all the boxes that have this written on them? If you buy cheap masks that don't have the three layers sure they are not effective. If they are masks for something else other than protection from aerosols then yes they won't work. You have to make or buy ones to the appropriate specifications that are fit for purpose. Taiwan gives each adult 2 masks per week for adults and three masks per week for all children over the age of 2 years. In Special Schools teachers can have as many masks that they need. Taiwan put many strategies in place but their mask wearing meant no schools, or businesses needed to lock down. They kept living their lives whilst wearing masks. It does take practice to learn how to wear a mask correctly. How to take it off without contaminating yourself. It's worth it though to not have to lock down in my opinion, but you may have a different opinion which I respect.

  92. Each adult in Taiwan gets 2 masks per week & children 3 masks per week. They had 7 deaths and no need to shut down.

  97. I don't think that is a useful way to think about what's happening. 66.2 %of Americans are living pay check to pay check. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" for food stamps. They are time poor and often do not engage with media. 60 %of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading and writing at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. This means that they haven't got critical thinking skills. They do not know about billionaire media owners and their agendas. How they want Trump tax cuts. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use neoliberalism's "Poverty as a Policy Choice". Neoliberalism shifts a citizen of a country who has rights and responsibilities, a sense of belonging and purpose to being a consumer in a market place who is to blame if they do not purchase the right life despite not having a trust fund. The shaming and humiliating of the poor is a feature of neoliberalism. Folks who are vulnerable become desperate to scapegoat others which feels like a huge relief that they are not the at the brunt of the scapegoating. Intergenerational Trauma, poverty and illiteracy makes folks vulnerable to cults and manipulation. Trump and FOX news use amygdala hijacks, that is they play on fear responses or fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses. If you are in fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses your rational mind or prefrontal cortex has shut down. Biologically your capacity to think has been shut down. There's no capacity to rationally think things through. Without access to adequate food, housing, stable employment and education folks don't have the capacity to process and engage in moral thinking.

  99. Sweden has not reached herd immunity. They are half our population so you would have to doubt their death count. Sweden let all those people die for nothing as they have the same economic hit as the surrounding countries that are now opening up but won't let Sweden travel/work with them. So the economic hit will continue as the other countries recover. Sweden also uncounted their death rate as well. The head epidemiologist said he did it wrong and too many people died. Their businesses are not doing well as even without a lock down people are staying home as they don't trust the situation to be safe. It's worth researching and finding out the facts.

Some basic research can prevent a lot of paranoia. Do you think the ADF is abdicating their responsibilities?

  127. ​ @martinheath5947  It's not one child that has died. There are hundreds of children without pre-existing conditions that have died now.. A third of the children who get it and have lung damage, heart damage & neurological problems. Some of the parents have talked about their children having personalities changes after being on the ventilator and being infected by the virus.. Look at the Science, follow the results, note the multi organ failure syndrome that is now spreading throughout children. Parents are going in the media to warn other parents, so their children don't die. Not just small children are dying teenagers are dying as well. Covid19 Kid Deaths include ages 13 years, 19 years, 14 years, 16 years, 21 years, 12 years. These are deaths from early on in the pandemic. https://t.co/qjtF1bWaYT?amp=1

  140. This is a complete misrepresentation. All of the other states & territories can keep Covid19 positive people in quarantine indefinitely. So Covid19 positive people can be kept apart from the rest of us. It's the basics to keep everyone safe. Before making things up just do some basic research. All the other states and territories are indefinite so if you are going to freak out about Victoria be balanced and honest and do the same thing for every other state and territory. Actually read, research and watch a press conference. You are over blowing this, which could cause more more virus spread as people fail to take it seriously which is the problem that got Victoria into lockdown. This legislation is not about lock downs indefinitely. Please stop lying so much. You are not helping. We need to open up our economy which we can't do if the health messages are under mined.

Trump's counsel missed all three deadlines. This was posted on the court website for all to see. Trump's lawyers didn't check the box for the jury trial.

  211.  @augustsnowfall5189  Agreed the CCP state run media is totally controlled and not to be believed. However, those whistle blowers doctors and citizens that appear on alternative media, and who tell the truth, and disappear afterwards to not be seen again, have made a sacrifice to get information out about the virus. This is different from CCP State run media which only runs approved propaganda. Check it out for yourself. Look at the state run news and compare to China in Focus - two very different sources of information.

  213.  @augustsnowfall5189  Reports criticising the CCP which are Whistle Blower Doctors contradicting the official state media are worth paying attention to as they disappear afterwards.

  214.  @augustsnowfall5189  Masks definitely stop the spread of viruses. Medical professionals wear them the world over to protect themselves. This is so well known masks were worn during the 1918 pandemic. Taiwan gives each adult 2 masks per week, 3 masks to children per week to wear. Wearing masks has meant only 7 deaths from Covid19 in Taiwan.

  216.  @augustsnowfall5189  That's dangerous incorrect information. Taiwan gives each adult 2x masks per week and each child three masks per week as part of governmental policy to prevent Covid19. Taiwan clearly states that wearing masks was an important part of stopping infection spread. Blocked by the CCP few know the true story.

  217.  @augustsnowfall5189  I care deeply for my country and the truth getting out there. My family are medical professionals who are putting their lives on the line to save others.
