The one thing that unites Melburnians under lockdown

. These are people who are living through lockdown alongside us, rather than lobbing their views from power lunches in Sydney. They don’t want to score points, they want to use their expertise and insights to help the city back on its feet.

I asked Chip to summarise what he’s learned from Rod Eddington, Lee Clifford, Derek Scott, Michael Gudinski, Margaret Gardiner, Bill Kelty, Janet Whiting, John Wylie and Duncan Maskell.The key themes were that the Andrews government needs to widen its circle of advice to tap into the expertise out there and that we need to turn disaster into opportunity by dreaming big to remake the city brighter and stronger than ever.

All of them said, yes, the short-term experience is pretty miserable, and there’s a lot that could be done to fine-tune our way back to normal life. But they also all said that this city isn’t finished. It has reserves of skill and ingenuity to spring back. They all emphasised collaboration - “Victoria is best when business, unions, politicians and civic leaders work together,” Chip wrote. “That's how we lifted ourselves out of the last recession. It needs to happen again.

We are united us watching the immigrants hanging out here together killing the old immigrants.

Dan is doing a very good job bring Victoria together

They are turning us into Bubble Boys and Bubble girls. 😐

5km

Being separated into distinct groups respecting 'diversity', keeping migrants in permanent bubbles with no joining in with normal media is one the reasons we're the deluded world of Andrews government caused 2nd wave, just look at the Casey outbreak.

What a lot of shit.....of course Melbourne will bounce back like any other city would in the world. Will Andrews bounce back after these barbaric rules of lockdowns, curfews and a militant police force. The guys a fucking madman who lives for power.

right now it's a dead city thanks to Andrews and the health fascists AdrewsMustGo

Seems like only one “culture” is ruining it for all the other cultures - when you have muslims that have a complete disregard for the rules like Ramadan, El Habibi college and now the Dandenong cluster (Afghans)

So we're a sub not multi cultural community thanks to the medias championing of ponzi economics.

Andrews screwed up and took the country down with him like the captain of the Titanic.

The main thing uniting us Melbournians is how sick we are of the federal government and its sycophants in Newscrap constantly running down our state and DanielAndrewsMP So much for Scotty from marketing and his bullshit 'we're all in this together'

As long as your bubbles don't intersect with Casey, Hume and Wyndham.

Unemployment rate falls as 111,000 jobs added in August, despite Melbourne lockdownAustralia's unemployment rate posts a surprise fall to 6.8 per cent, as 111,000 jobs were created last month despite a lockdown in the nation's second most populous state. No explanation as to if these are 'new jobs' or just people going off jobkeeper/seeker and back to their old jobs considering that before Covid-19 a good month for new jobs was 30-40,000 mostly part time and casual positions. Can't help feeling there is some dodgy accounting here Hmm, the figures do not tell the whole story. The ABS only counts people actively looking for work and in the current job situation there are 100s of thousands not bothering. I’m calling major BS. This cannot be true. Someone at abc really needs to pull this apart & do a full analysis/ breakdown. Fake news. I want names of companies, sources, salary figures. You realise recruiters create fake job profiles in job search yeah? 🤨🤨🤨
