Maybe Trump Needs a Lesson from New South Wales By James Reed

     New South Wales, but not little old Adelaide, has stopped a Black Lives matter protest, as the Wuhan flu trumps present woke concerns:

“The expert medical panel advising national cabinet has warned it is “extremely concerned” about the Black Lives Matter protests planned in major cities across Australia because of the risk of a “major resurgence of cases.”
The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee led by Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy has released a statement reminding Australians that a single person infected with coronavirus infects 35 others. It has recommended that Australians refrain from attending mass gatherings “of any kind, including protests” and urged individuals who do attend protests to “maintain appropriate physical distancing and hand and respiratory hygiene”. “This virus is very, very infectious. It will be with us in one way or another for many months to come,” the AHPPC said. “It is advised that Australians follow the health advice and regulations about public gatherings, and adhere to restrictions on gathering sizes in their state or territory.”

“Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has decided to allow an anti-racism rally in the heart of the city on Saturday, despite social distancing restrictions remaining in force. Protesters plan to gather at Victoria Square at noon to march through the city in solidarity for murdered black American George Floyd and those seeking justice against racism in Australia and overseas. Mr Stevens on Friday announced he had decided to grant an exemption to allow more than 80 people to gather at the Black Lives Matter rally. He said it was a unique situation that required balancing public health considerations with citizens’ right to peacefully protest. “This is a unique and extraordinary event. There is a sentiment that suggests that people should have a right to peacefully protest on significant matters,” Mr Stevens said. “There is also the reality that with significant numbers of people attending that the potential to prevent it from occurring is also a very difficult challenge for police. “This can occur as a peaceful protest and we’re very keen to work with the organisers to ensure it’s peaceful and it’s conducted in accordance with the social distancing principles.” Mr Stevens said he considered advice from chief public health officer, Professor Nicola Spurrier, and the “virtually non-existent” community transmission of coronavirus in SA. SOS Blak Australia SA Action Group community member and Adelaide protest co-host Natasha Wanganeen said she wholeheartedly appreciated Mr Stevens granting the exemption.”

     Yes, but it will be tragic if protesters come down with the corona virus, which apparently does not discriminate either; so, practice safe sex, sorry, wrong moral panic back to the 1980s, safe distancing. Remember, racism in America must be fought in Australia, because the Americans care about Adelaide. Just ask them where it is. I am not so sure myself, somewhere close to the South Pole I think.
