Western Australia Did Not Do Enough to Prevent Hotel Quarantine Outbreak: AMA
Australian Medical Association (AMA) President Dr. Omar Khorshid has said that the Western Australian (WA) government could have done more to prevent the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent 3-day lockdown.
A report came in early April identifying the Mercure hotel as “high-risk” for ventilation issues, one of three in Perth. According to Khorshid, the problem lay in a lack of expediency in delivering the report following WA’s last lockdown in February.
“It is frustratingly slow,” Khorshid told Sky News Australia. “I think that is the main criticism of the WA government that they have not done everything they could have done to make quarantine as safe as possible.”

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suggested social media could be used by “the evil one” to undermine Australian society, telling Christian leaders they are what the country needs right now. Speaking at the Australian Christian Churches national conference at the Gold Coast last week, Morrison also called out identity politics for being “corrosive” to society, and revealed he used the Pentecostal practice of laying on of hands while meeting people at disaster relief centres. The speech gave a rare insight into the deep Pentecostal Christian faith Morrison has, and its impact on his political leadership. It was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday by secular advocacy group Rationalists Australia.

Australia Stops Flights From India Amid CCP Virus Emergency
Australia is cutting off all direct and indirect passenger flights from India as CCP virus cases surge in the country, causing locals to carry out mass open-air cremations to keep up with the number of deaths.
On a single day, on April 25, India reported more than 2,800 deaths and 325,000 new cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
This has followed a tragic five-day trend where the total infected cases have also surpassed 17 million, and at present, 195,123 people have lost their lives in India.
