Sending in the Army and Getting Back to Work (2021x25)

Data de estreia: Jul 29, 2021

Sydney seems headed for an extended lockdown period, possibly into mid-September, as NSW continues to record high numbers of locally acquired cases. Friction has erupted between the Federal Government and NSW as Premier Gladys Berejiklian pushes for more vaccines while the PM seems to favour a harder lockdown. There are also fears of a new wave of infections following the weekend’s anti-lockdown rallies, in which thousands took the streets, mainly mask-less. Panellists: Deborah Cheetham, Artistic Director, Short Black Opera; Andrew Bragg, Liberal Senator for NSW; Chris Bowen, Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy; Clover Moore, Lord Mayor of Sydney; and Michael Mohammed Ahmad, Author and founding director of Sweatshop Literacy Movement.
