The Daily Telegraph’s Crime Editor Mark Morri says New South Wales Police are prepared for potential conflicts as criminal gangs vie for supremacy in Sydney’s underworld. Key figures in the Comanchero and Lone Wolf bikie gangs were among scores of criminals arrested after Operation Ironside seized 3,366kg of drugs and $35.8m in cash seized in what Prime Minister Scott Morrison described as a watershed moment in Australian law enforcement history”.
“Our police here have already started, and made preparations, over the last couple of months getting ready for potential conflicts for when these arrests happen,” Mr Morri told Sky News. “There’ll be the inevitable power vacuum, there’ll be debts that won’t be paid because people know organisations such as the Comanchero and Lone Wolf bikie gangs have been decimated. “There’ll be opportunistic criminals ready to take over and there’s a real chance of turf wars.

Race guilt and race shame are now ‘taking hold’ in Australia: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaCritical race theory is not about justice and equality, it is about “racial vengeance,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“The threat to our freedoms, to our values, it doesn’t just come from outside,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“There’s also plenty of people inside the west who don’t think the west is actually worth defending.\n\n“Who think it’s evil, oppressive, racist, dominated by white people who are rotten to the core.\n\n“I’m telling you, this is coming … it’s this new anti-white racism, or critical race theory.”\n\nMr Bolt said we are seeing more and more white people “react in one of two terrible ways – both also racist”.\n\n“Some resort to the very same racism themselves, they fight anti-white racism with anti-black racism, it’s tribal,” he said.\n\n“Other whites surrender, as members of the guilty race, some literally kowtow to their black neighbours.\n\n“This is what is now taking hold in Australia, race guilt, race shame, judging people by their race, white people bad.\n\n“And this is the country that now – with China rampant - calls on its people to defend it. Good luck.”\n

Sydney’s Australian Club sounding like the ‘un-Australian club’: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the exclusive gentlemen’s club, The Australian Club in Sydney is sounding like the “un-Australian club” amid suggestions it considers ethnic background when it comes to membership.\n\nA story in The Australian has revealed there is a debate in the Australian Club in relation to a push by some in the club to admit female members.\n\nThe debate has been ongoing for years and will come to a head in a vote next week.\n\n“Now this is interesting enough, but there’s more,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“I don’t really have a problem with single-sex clubs… but there was a little mention in this story that really troubled me.”\n\nIn the article, a letter from former federal court judge Peter Graham – who is contesting the admission of female members – said members of the Club have “expressed views about the Club” including those up to “the admission of members of Asian race”.\n\nAccording to Mr Kenny, this sounds “extraordinary” and “offensive”.\n\n“I am told in the full context of this letter we might see the reference as merely clumsily or old-fashioned language,” he said.\n\n“But single-sex clubs is one thing, if there is any suggestion at all that a club would consider ethnic background… that would not only be repugnant, I dare say it would also be illegal.\n\n“This doesn’t sound very Australian at all, that makes it sound like the un-Australian club.”\n\nMr Kenny spoke with Pauline Wright from the Civil Liberties Council about the issue.

Media ‘gushing’ over ‘beloved’ Joe Biden amid G7 Summit | Sky News AustraliaThe media has been “gushing” over their beloved Joe Biden amid the G7 summit – but the same newsrooms didn’t offer such “light and positive coverage” when it was Donald Trump, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.\n\nAccording to CNN, US President Joe Biden is “stepping onto the world stage for the first time as president – an equal to foreign leaders”.\n\nYet when Donald Trump attended the G7, CNN reported it as “G6 versus one”.\n\nMr Houghton said CNN portrayed Joe Biden’s attendance as “momentous” and was “trying to give the illusion that he doesn’t have any disputes” with any of the other national leaders.\n\nThe Menzies Research Centre’s Nick Cater noted there are “considerable question marks” over Biden’s foreign affairs policy.\n\n“But it was the one area in fact in which Donald Trump did very well,” he said.\n
