nsw lockdown

From FBi Radio and the CBAA in Sydney, Mitch Fuller takes you through the 2021 Sydney lockdown from his perspective and those of his friends.

Supervising production from Ian Crouch. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

So, in 2021 I decided to live alone in Sydney. What I didn't realise at the time was what that really meant.

During 100 days of lockdown in 2021, I spent most of my time in my studio apartment. 

What started out as novel, began to drag as Winter turned into Spring, but Sydney stayed quiet.

When the solitude felt more like isolation I was kept afloat by conversations with friends over the phone.

I have attempted to condense 100 days of lockdown into 12 minutes of audio featuring Gladys, coffee making, and the varied experiences of my friends.

Special Thanks

It's bound to happen when you work so closely with someone, you see them twice a week and they may or may not be the closest thing you have to an intimate relationship during lockdown... So of course there's bound to be an erotic dream between friends right?? 

Plus pre warning, there is a little bit of steam coming from the ears of our hosts as they chat about the political changes of late. 

And the days of the goat are gone... Birds are the new goats!

The Aussie share market is set to open higher, with the futures suggesting the market will rise 0.06%.

What to watch today: 

• NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is expected to announce an extension of Sydney’s lockdown. Yesterday the government announced that small and medium NSW businesses will be eligible for weekly cash payments of up to $10,000. Workers affected will receive $375 to $600 a week. 
• Consumer confidence data for July will released today. This data is expected to be weak as lockdowns continue. 
• The iron ore price rose up 0.4% to US$218, hitting a record all time high. The iron ore price has gained 40% this year, amid surging demand for steel from India.
• Flight Centre’s (ASX:FLT) shares rose 1.7%. That’s its biggest share price jump in seven days. It wasn’t enough to move FLT out of the range it’s been trading in since May – under the $16 mark. Most brokers think FLT will stay around these levels till restrictions ease. 

Trading Ideas: 

• Adacel Technologies (ASX:ADA) was reiterated as a Bell Potter BUY with a $1.25 price target, implying 28% share price growth in a year. 
• Ioneer (ASX:INR), NOVONIX (ASX:NVX) and Carbon Revolution (ASX:CBR) are all giving off bullish charting signals according to Trading Central.
