We are back into relative isolation and on-going anxiety as Victoria confronts new waves of community transmission of COVID-19 . . . but  we have also seen hope, generosity and glimpses of a better future for our community. Can we build a more creative and caring community out of this crisis?

The COVID-19 crisis has made it clear to all Australians what families with young children know – childcare is an essential service.

A municipality that does not reach out to artists and support them will lose them. Is that the sort of place we want Port Phillip to be?

The solution is to provide safe and secure housing where the required professional support staff are on site 24/7 to oversee both the pressing and immediate housing crisis, and also to identify and address the wider health issues behind the housing crisis.

For all of us who care about climate, our Council is important. It’s a vital building block for change.
