The path to our new normal is changing rapidly. As life opens up for much of the country, our two most populated states are battling to contain a growing number of COVID cases.
Victoria is now cut off from all states, with several areas in complete lockdown, AFL teams are fleeing north and businesses facing loss upon loss.
The Government says more financial help is on the way, but how long can we afford this stop-start scenario?
Joining Hamish on the panel live:
Sarah Henderson, Liberal Senator for Victoria
Adam Bandt, Leader of the Australian Greens
Margy Osmond, CEO of the Tourism and Transport Forum
Jodie McVernon, Epidemiologist, Doherty Institute
L-FRESH the LION, Hip Hop artist from south-west Sydney
