The Economist magazine’s Intelligence Unit published its list of most livable cities for 2021. It was not published in 2020 due to the covid pandemic. Despite each city experiencing four lockdowns Auckland was number one while Melbourne was number eight.

Melbourne has now entered lockdown lite after two weeks of strict lockdown. Masks are still mandatory everywhere, travel is limited to 25km from home, no private gatherings allowed and Melbournains are still locked out of other states. Queensland is cracking down on Victorian escapees after two tested positive on the Sunshine Coast. With Dan Andrews still on leave the rumours and conspiracy theories about his stairfall on March 9 have continued, even being explored by the state Liberal Opposition.
