Episode description

Will Melbourne…the city we all love…once the world’s most liveable city, ever be the same again.

 

Cameron Stewart wrote in the Australian newspaper that he arrived back in Melbourne after four years as the paper’s US correspondent, and the city had changed considerably.  More than 160 days of lockdown has changed the city forever.  Alex Dyson owns Comedy Republic, a bar and stand-up comedy venue in the city’s CBD.  He hopes things return to normal as soon as possible.

 

But what will the new normal look like?  Melbourne was the world’s most liveable city for seven out of the last ten years.  Will it ever be the same….?
