Anti-lockdown protests turn violence in Australia

Australia was regarded as a success story in containing Covid-19 in 2020. Australia sealed off its borders to all foreigners and imposed strict quarantine for arrivals. During the first wave of the coronavirus, Australia seems to be inspirational to many Western nations in controlling the pandemic virus. 

Everything has changed in Oceania country after one year. Government has continued to impose restrictions in major cities and people also responded against the Australian government. Anti-lockdown protests in Australia turned violent in many cities. Hundreds of people took to the streets who said the lockdown is authoritarian.


Melbourne has witnessed a sixth lockdown whereas Sydney has faced restrictions since June. Many protesters defied coronavirus lockdowns to hit the streets of Australia's largest cities, as the country recorded its highest single-day caseload since the pandemic began. Sydney’s New South Wales state reported a record 825 new daily community infections. Not only Sydney, several cities are battling outbreaks of the deadly Delta variant. Frustration is mounting in Sydney despite being more or less shut down for eight weeks. What went wrong in Australia in countering the virus? Implementing Zero-Covid strategy and slow vaccination are two reasons for not containing the virus.


Most of the protesters don’t have masks on their faces during the agitation. Zero-Covid strategy is being challenged by the Delta variant. Australian healthcare officials have said that they are moving away from the attempt to completely eradicate the coronavirus. Australia has fully vaccinated just 23% of the population out of the total 25 million people in the country. The vaccine rollout is much lower when compared to the UK (60.6%) and US. (50.7%). Scott Morrison defended the decision and said that a ‘one-eyed focus’ on daily cases is not helpful and that lockdowns are unsustainable.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A. AA.. will plan to produce next film with Pavan and Trivikram. Movie was not yet started but distributors rushed toward producer for getting area-wise rights.Obviously, ...
