Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I only arrived in Australia at the tail end of the millennium drought, would you say the communal behaviour was similar to Covid?
This is a great question! I reckon a little? But I would put it down to a couple of things - one is that I feel Covid’s sudden onset and danger was far better received from a “people need to sort their shit out” perspective. But also I feel like socially-speaking people are more altruistic compared with back then.
