A pizza shop employee in Australia was caught delivering hot, fresh coronavirus to customers this week. South Australia began the first of six days in lockdown on Wednesday, after local officials confirmed dozens of new cases of the virus — a spike that the state of 1.7 million hadn’t seen since April. Woodville Pizza Bar, in Adelaide, was named a hot spot by contact tracers after learning that a supposedly highly contagious COVID-19 patient had visited the restaurant.

The world has reacted with disgust and anger after a damning inquiry into Australian soldiers in Afghanistan exposed a disturbing litany of alleged war crimes. The atrocities allegedly committed by Australian Special Air Service members were so vile that more than 50 pages in Thursday's report had to be redacted.

The soldiers are accused of engaging in body count competitions and torturing civilians, as well as allegations of drug and alcohol abuse. Major General Paul Brereton's investigation...

A special investigator will be appointed to prosecute allegations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan as the Government prepares to release a long-awaited report into the conduct of special forces during the conflict. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said there were a "significant number" of incidents and issues to look into, and the investigation would be "inherently complex". And he warned the process would "[require] us to deal with honest and brutal truths where expectations and standards may not have been met". "Given the likely allegations of serious and possibly criminal misconduct, the matters raised in the inquiry must be assessed,...

An Australian Jihadist leader who planned to blow up the Crown Casino Melbourne will remain in prison for at least four more weeks as the country’s government appeals to its highest court to keep him locked up.

Jitarth Jadeja was already deep into conspiracy theories when he first heard of Q. One day in December 2017, he tuned into Infowars, the media outlet run by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Two guests on the radio show were talking about the "calm before the storm," a reference to an absurd theory that President Donald Trump will soon wage a secret war against a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles and a slew of other evildoers. It's one of the many tall tales believed by followers of the movement called QAnon, ranging from the false claim that the government created vaccines...

Though I'm as far away from the USA as is physically possible (Antarctica excepted), I just wanted everyone to know that the state of Kansas just received my vote in the general election. I voted for 4 more years of decency in government, an honest politician, economic growth, improvements to the Supreme Court (hopefully we see a few resignations), draining of the swamp, dismantling and restoration of our intelligence agencies and finally the Biden's in jail. If it isn't clear, I voted for Trump. There may have been one or two extra hoops to jump through, but it was worth...

Interstate transfers to Melbourne blocked due to corona lockdown restrictions. Four newborn babies in Adelaide, Australia have died after being denied life-saving heart surgery due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

However, due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions imposed by the Australian government, transfers to Melbourne have stopped and the babies have to make a longer journey to Sydney instead. “Obsetrician Professor John Svigos said four babies who had died in Adelaide in the past month...

(ALMA - ESO/NAOJ/NRAO, E/O'Gorman/P.Kervella) ========================================================================= In the wake of recent fluctuations in Betelgeuse's brightness, astronomers have rigorously examined the star's vital statistics, and come up with a bit of a surprise. According to the team led by researchers at Australian National University (ANU), the results change a few important things about our favourite red giant. "The actual physical size of Betelgeuse has been a bit of a mystery – earlier studies suggested it could be bigger than the orbit of Jupiter," says astronomer László Molnár from the Konkoly Observatory in Hungary. "Our results say Betelgeuse only extends out to two...

Davos billionaires want socialist ‘Green New Deal’ via the back door.. Former Australian Senator Cory Bernardi presented a piece for Sky News Australia in which he claimed that the agenda behind the COVID panic was for elite Davos billionaires to bring about a “great reset” that would see permanent social and economic changes. Noting that there is “something unusual about the continuing pandemic panic,” Bernardi cited medical experts who “now acknowledge that lockdowns don’t work” and asked viewers to “consider if there is another agenda at work.” Indeed, in a recent interview with the Spectator, the World Health Organization’s special...

Sen. Ted Cruz is accusing CBS News of “media bias” after the Australian version of “60 Minutes” recently featured Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who accused Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden of sexual assault. Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, is demanding to know why the interview wasn’t aired in the U.S., where Mr. Biden is running for president. “This is the most complete indictment of media bias ever,” the senator tweeted. “Why does CBS think voters in…Australia need to know about these serious charges against Biden, but not voters in…America (where he’s actually on the ballot)?
