|
| Self-isolation has its perks. The ideal excuse to shrug off family invitations or aimless mall treks, all in the name of civic responsibility. It’s tough, but we have to do it, right?

Annabel Crabb and Paul Kennedy joined Richelle and Warwick from their home offices, to talk about all the benefits and distractions about working from home, and whether this is the new normal in 2020. | |
