Well I thought id make a thread for anything you want me to add for 2020
COVID19
We have been going through a pandemic which has battered the year up so much. first, panic buying, misinformation, Victoria's second wave, "Karens" and more. There are now over 80 million covid19 cases with almost a quarter of those in the USA.
POLITICS
Joe Biden will officially become the president of the USA in 2021, he was elected on November 3 narrowly defeating Donald Trump.
Jacinda Ardern, The Prime Minister of New Zealand won a second term forming a coalition with the green party.
Labor was reelected in all three state elections, QLD, ACT and NT, with a rise in popularity with the Greens coming along with it.
What else should be added

Network 10 saw a lot of cuts this year. First, newsmagazine, 10Daily got the axe. After that, network 10 cut news presenters. Localised news bulletins shunted to east coast. Adelaide viewers get news coming from Melbourne while Brisbane and Perth get news coming from Sydney. (Looks like 10 has scaled back news in 2020). After 6 years, V8 Supercars came to an end on channel 10. Channel 7 would regain the rights to the V8s from 2021. Network 10 televised its final rugby union match, Wallabies v Argentina from BankWest stadium (5 dec 2020). After the final match finished, it was game over for channel 10. The voice jumps from nine to seven with Sonia Kruger hosting.
Nine regain rights to Wimbledon and tennis. As well, Stan gets the rights to the mid year tennis.
