• Fewer than 900 of more than 19,000 fines given to people for breaching Victoria's coronavirus lockdown rules have been paid. New data from Fines Victoria shows 19,324 fines were issued until August 24, with the value of notices totalling $27,880,978. Only 845 of those fines have been paid in full. Fines Victoria said 18 per cent of the unpaid fines have reached the 'notice of final demand' stage.
〰️
• A black man who was led through the streets of a Texas town by two white police officers on horseback pulling a rope has sued the US city and its police department for $US1 million ($1.4 million), saying he suffered humiliation and fear during his arrest. A lawsuit filed last week in Galveston County district court on behalf of Donald Neely, 44, alleged the officers' conduct was "extreme and outrageous”, both physically injuring Mr Neely and causing him emotional distress. Photos of the August 2019 encounter showed Mr Neely being led by the officers on a rope linked to handcuffs — reminiscent of pictures showing slaves in chains. Mr Neely, who was homeless at the time, was sleeping on a footpath when he was arrested for criminal trespass and led around the block to a mounted patrol staging area. The charge was later dismissed in court.
〰️
• Online gamblers are blowing more money during the pandemic, with a new study revealing one in three signed up for new betting accounts in June and July. Men aged 18 to 34 made up 79% of new account holders, with the same group increasing their median monthly spend from $687 to $1,075, according to a study released by the Australian Gambling Research Centre today. Bookmakers said the rise in online spending came as revenue dipped at bricks-and-mortar betting venues.

Gladys Berejikilan says she "stuffed up" following revelations of a personal relationship with disgraced former MP Daryl Maguire — but she intends to continue in her role as NSW Premier.
〰️
In evidence to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) today, the Premier revealed she was in a relationship with Mr Maguire from 2015 until a few months ago.
〰️
Ms Berejiklian said she made a mistake and would not have made the same decisions, if she knew then what she knows now.
〰️
She said she felt let down by Mr Maguire, having "trusted him for a long time".
〰️
Mr Maguire, who was forced to resign as Liberal MP for Wagga Wagga in 2018, is under investigation by the ICAC for allegedly using his political influence in business deals.
〰️
Ms Berejiklian said today had been "hands down … one of the most difficult days of my life".

• The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can live for up to 28 days on surfaces such as mobile phone screens and ATMs — much longer than previously thought — new Australian research has found. CSIRO scientists tested the SARS-CoV-2 virus to see how long it survived on surfaces such as cotton, paper, stainless steel, glass and vinyl. The virus survives on most surfaces for about six to seven days before starting to lose potency. On some surfaces, such as glass and paper banknotes, the virus lasts for longer than a month.
〰️
• United States President Donald Trump says doctors have found he no longer has COVID-19 and he would not be a transmission risk to others, as he returns to holding big rallies during the final weeks of the race for the White House. Mr Trump's physician did not directly say whether the President had tested negative, but that he had taken a test showing he was no longer infectious and there was no evidence "of actively replicating virus". Some medical experts have been sceptical that Mr Trump has been cleared as a transmission risk so close to the date of his diagnosis. Twitter on Sunday flagged a tweet by Mr Trump, in which he claimed he was immune to the coronavirus, for violating company's rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to the pandemic.

• Queensland's Logan City is the first local government area in Australia to turn human waste into energy after trialling a state-of-the-art gasification plant at the Loganholme Waste Water Treatment plant. The $17 million plant takes biosolids, a substance made from the treatment of sewage, and generates electricity. It also creates an inert substance called biochar that can be used for agricultural purposes.

Lachlan McDaniel believes his arts degree was "probably the best thing that ever happened" to him, but the Wiradjuri man fears new laws passed this week will make it much tougher for other Indigenous students to get the same opportunities.
〰️
The Federal Government's "job-ready" university reforms will dramatically increase the cost of courses in the social sciences, a consistently popular discipline among Indigenous students.
〰️
"I think that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students largely come to university to gain greater skills to serve their communities, and an attack on arts degrees that include things like Indigenous Studies will hurt us," Mr McDaniel said.
〰️
According to the latest national data, 33 per cent of Indigenous students chose to enrol in social science degrees compared to 19 per cent of the general cohort.
〰️
Experts say the reforms may undermine the new Closing the Gap targets, which aim to have 70 per cent of Indigenous young people with some form of tertiary education by 2031.
〰️
Mr McDaniel started studying an arts and law degree in 2005, after being accepted via a direct entry Indigenous program.
〰️
"Before I went to Macquarie University, my job was to work in a factory and I was pushing the hot and cold buttons into taps," he said.
〰️
"I realised what the value of an education was and that my passion was for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. And then I wanted to get a degree that would make me of service to our communities."
〰️
Mr McDaniel now mentors many Indigenous students and is not convinced the reforms will persuade students to enrol in disciplines that do not interest them.
〰️
"It disturbs me that the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are having another hurdle put in front of them to access tertiary education and get the education that they want," he said.

Dylan Alcott is now an 11-time grand slam champion! 🎾🏆
〰️
He enhanced his reputation as one of the all-time greats of wheelchair tennis with an 11th quad singles grand slam triumph at the French Open with a 6-2, 6-2 victory on one of the sport's great stages, Court Suzanne Lenglen at Roland Garros.
〰️
"We did it!!" Alcott wrote on social media. "11 grand slams. Can’t believe it. Paris we love you. Big love to my team and all of you who tuned in and sent messages of love and support. You all continue to make my dreams possible. Tres bloody bien."
〰️
The double Paralympic gold-medallist from Melbourne was recently instrumental in getting the US Open to make a U-turn on its decision to exclude the wheelchair tournament in New York, his angry comments about "disgusting discrimination" prompting a wave of support from some of the sport's biggest names.
〰️
"The media, to the public, people want to watch because it's entertaining sport. It means a lot to me, more so for not just us but the next generation of young people with a disability," he said.
〰️
"I love winning grand slams, but it's not the reason I get out of bed. It's not. It's to provide opportunities and try and change perceptions."

Good morning! Here’s your news update 🗞️☕
〰️
US President Donald Trump has used his first public address since being released from hospital, where he was treated for COVID-19, to tell supporters coronavirus will soon be eradicated, and to spruik his achievements for minority groups. While speaking to his supporters from a balcony at the White House on Saturday local time he told them he was feeling great. The White House has refused to declare Mr Trump is no longer contagious. "Science, medicine will eradicate the China virus once and for all," Mr Trump said. In the face of the Black Lives Matter movement, Mr Trump said: “I've done more for the black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”
〰️
Victoria has recorded 12 new cases of COVID-19 and one further death, keeping Melbourne's 14-day average higher than the target for the next step of eased restrictions. The city's fortnightly average of daily cases has fallen from 9.4 to 9.3, while in regional Victoria it remains the same at 0.4. The number of cases in Melbourne with an unknown source over a two-week period remains at 10. Premier Daniel Andrews yesterday suggested restrictions would likely be eased in a series of small steps, starting from October 19, rather than introducing the full suite of third step measures outlined in the state's roadmap.

North Korea has revealed previously unseen intercontinental ballistic missiles at an unprecedented pre-dawn military parade that showcased the country's long-range weapons for the first time in two years. Analysts said the missile, which was shown on a transporter vehicle with 11 axles, would be one of the largest road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the world if it becomes operational. "We will continue to build our national defence power and self-defensive war deterrence," leader Kim Jong-Un said.

Dominic Pangrazio's chance meeting with his wife Kumi at a Japanese bar could have been a scene straight out of a rom-com 💙
〰️
"My friend tried to pick her up, but I had to do the translating for him, so in the process of translating, I probably got to know her a bit better than he did," said the Australian, who lives in Osaka.
〰️
The couple married two years ago and have plans to move back to Melbourne, where they'd like to "plant their roots" and also to be closer to Mr Pangrazio's sick mother.
〰️
However, the Australian Government's announcement earlier this week that partner visa applicants will have to learn English to a "functional level" to stay here permanently has added yet another hurdle to what Mr Pangrazio says is an already expensive and lengthy process.
〰️
The application fee starts from about $7,700 and the processing time for 90 per cent of applications is just over two years, according to the Department of Home Affairs.
〰️
"I know how incredibly difficult it can be to master a language as an adult — I've spent the past 13 years learning Japanese and trying to integrate," Mr Pangrazio said.
〰️
"Japanese is not an easy language to learn. But I know conversely for Japanese people, English is not an easy language to learn because the grammar structure is completely different. The rewiring of the brain takes time.”
〰️
Abul Rizvi, former deputy secretary of the Department of Immigration, said the measure sent "a negative message to migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds", and also sent a message to racists. He said encouraging migrants to learn English is "a very good policy" but said, "it should not be part of a visa requirement [for partners]".
〰️
"We've always allowed people entry to Australia on the basis of a relationship," Mr Rizvi said. "Even when the White Australia policy was in place, there were exceptions made for partners. Partners are at the core of any country's immigration policy."

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, who today fronted his 100th consecutive coronavirus press conference, said Melbourne would take a step towards opening up next Sunday, but that it would not be as big as was hoped.
〰️
"We will not be able to move as far and as fast as we had planned to. There will be movement. It will be significant," he said.
〰️
"It is in no way warranted for people to be despondent, or for people to lose any sense of hope. This strategy is working, but you have got to do it properly."
〰️
Mr Andrews said he would not take action or steps that would lead to a resurgence of the virus.
〰️
The Premier said he understood the frustrations people had to get back to a normal way of life, but said any next steps "had to be safe".
〰️
The state recorded 14 new coronavirus cases overnight, and the third day in a row of no new deaths.
