Listen "The Lockdown Capital of the World"
Episode Synopsis
The Australian state of Victoria has endured one of the strictest and longest lockdowns in the world, despite having a relatively low level of coronavirus in circulation. To break this down, I'm joined by my long-standing friend, Julian Angelatos. We discuss what happened in Victoria, the reasoning behind the State Government's policy, and the problems associated with handing over these powers to government.Please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell your friends and family about the show.
