God, that was a time wasn’t it - the constant articles about whether it was “Australian to dob a neighbour in”, the side-long glances people would get for clearly using rainwater while everyone else was taking 2-minute showers. Updates on how low the reserves are. Geez… I do not miss that.

I only arrived in Australia at the tail end of the millennium drought, would you say the communal behaviour was similar to Covid?
