There are no active cases of COVID in Victoria today, after the last patient was discharged from hospital last night. It doesn't mean the threat is gone, but certainly a milestone considering we had 7880 active cases on 11 August.

Nothing to do with politics, calm down, but we can all admit that lockdowns work? They suck and they're not without their own consequences, but just... it's not even worth debating this point anymore. Whether you're taking someone from the WHO out of context or not, it works.

To theatre artists in this bleak time: we all remain artists. Your work continues to reverberate while our stages are silent. Let’s store up, read, watch, witness because there will be a harvest ahead. I am so grateful to the artists who enrich my theatrical hibernation.

This is indeed so. And I wouldn't do it any differently today .
Today I learnt: For the Sci-Fi Horror film 'Event Horizon' Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replacedwith the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047.

#StateOfDisaster and #curfew 😞😩 But on the bright side... the Auslan for “panic buying” is comedic genius. Please take care everyone. And to the rest of Australia- please learn from #Victoria ‘s misfortunes 🙏🏻❤️#IStandWithMarkMcGowan

Replying to @meynewyatt
@meynewyatt ‘s monologue is from a play written by him. A monologue that does what excellent words can do: pierce into us. Recognise the good the bad the ugly in myself. I put myself in his shoes. A play. Theatre. The Arts. #MeyneWyatt #indigenouslivesmatter #theatre

See that pain and anger simmering beneath the surface of these Mob on #qanda tonight? That doesn’t get left at the studio door. That no good feeling follows you around day, night, everywhere. Racism, white supremacy is an insidious diesease that must be driven out of our society.

Victoria is proudly the #creativestate - but our workers and cultural institutions are doing it tough and need our help. That's why we've put over $49m towards safeguarding jobs in the creative industries, while keeping Victorians connected during this challenging time #springst
