New episode: Scott Morrison says don’t protest racism while Trump wants a civil war

~ Newsfighters

Australia is in its first recession in almost 30 years and the governments solution is for boomers to renovate their kitchens.

Meanwhile in America, the widespread protests against the killing of George Floyd have lead Donald Trump to push the country towards civil war, with his police literally hitting out at Australian news media in the process. Good thing we live in Australia where that would never happen, says Scott Morrison.
