On Friday, as the world was gripped by Black Lives Matter protests, Alex Hawke, Australia’s minister for the Pacific criticised those who attended the protests in Australia, because of health concerns due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
“No one should risk the good position Australia is in, especially to attend a self indulgent ‘protest’ about matters in other countries,” he tweeted.
“Thank goodness for the PM’s strong leadership. There must be equality if we are to keep the cohesion & consensus we have achieved by banding together,” he wrote.
