It has been a time it seems that many have anticipated, but whose timing could never precisely be predicted.  After 40 years of economic policies designed to create massive income inequality and after 400 years of oppression of African-Americans, and in the midst of an historic pandemic--the social explosion has occurred.

A protest begun by yet another police killing of an unarmed black man filmed with mobile phones spread in days beyond the United States.  One act of police brutality has led to hundreds of horrific incidents of police violence, dramatic exposing what the true nature of the American police appears to be. .

Plenty of people in Europe and the US are wondering why Australia has so far been able to escape the same devastation of the Coronavirus pandemic that they have experienced.  While the US moves towards 2 million infections and has surpassed 105,000 dead, Australia has only had 7204 cases, resulting in just 103 deaths. It didn't necessarily come easily to Australia, and the pandemic has seriously undermined relations with its biggest trading partner.
