It’s been confirmed: Australia’s in a recession.
Getting the economy back on track will be a long, tough road, and won’t be straightforward either as debate rages over how workers will be supported after JobSeeker and JobKeeper taper off in September. The government has brought out a fourth economic stimulus package, the $688 HomeBuilder scheme, but it has already come under fire for unfairly creating jobs for men but not for women and for being a “floatie” scheme rather than a life raft, leaving vulnerable Australians “out in the cold”.

'White elephant' fears for Crown Sydney casino as China warns citizens not to travel to Australia6/10/2020 The Chinese government directive urging its citizens not to travel to Australia threatens to render a still under construction $2.2bn casino complex on Sydney harbour a “white elephant”, according to industry experts who say the project can no longer rely on income from high-roller gamblers from China who were central to its business model.
Gambling academics and city planners have all expressed concern over the future of Crown’s Sydney casino at Barangaroo as a result of the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s warning to Chinese residents “to enhance their safety awareness and do not travel to Australia” issued last week, citing a spike in racism during the coronavirus pandemic.

It is not that I don’t take care about my health. It is just that I am a bit. So you see I have high blood pressure and diabetes, but I am always too tired to go for a walk or exercise. It has not been helping me. Going to the gym is not my cup of tea. But then when I met with my dentist, he told me that my high sugar levels and blood pressure were affecting my teeth and had made the gums weak and prone to periodontitis. I never knew that it could affect my teeth. You can read more about it in this article that will help you to understand the concept better. https://www.dentisthopeisland.com.au/how-mouth-health-can-affect-whole-body-health/ Linda Burney urges Mathias Cormann to ‘listen’ after he condemned Black Lives Matter protests6/8/2020 The shadow minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney has urged Mathias Cormann to listen to the pain of First Nations people after the finance minister condemned Saturday’s mass protests to demand an end to Indigenous deaths in custody as reckless, selfish and self-indulgent.
Cormann used an interview on Sky News on Sunday to launch a full-throated attack on participants of Saturday’s events in several cities because the protests proceeded in contradiction of current health advice to avoid mass gatherings.

With the pandemic still lurking, it's far easier to provide a reasonably safe environment for one rather than 16 playing squads.
So what is the likely outcome of a series between the two Test heavyweights? India's historic away series win the last time these two teams met will be a far more difficult feat to repeat. The two big differences between the 2018-19 series and this one will be the presence of David Warner and Steven Smith, and an opening encounter at the infamous Gabbatoir.

The Morrison government says it is reviewing whether it needs to fund further flights to get Australians home from abroad as some overseas airlines resume flying here.

The assessment by professional services firm Ernst & Young (EY) says a government focus on renewable energy and climate-friendly projects to drive the economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic could create more than 100,000 direct jobs across the country while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
