S2E7: Victoria's COVID Lockdown: Housing Crisis & How the community are supporting those who need it most

Victorian premier Dan Andrews announced last Sunday a 5 day hard lockdown of 9 public housing towers in Melbourne, leaving 3,000 residents house-bound with 500 police officers surrounding the towers. The decision came as a means to control an outbreak of Covid-19 cases, but it blindsided many, leaving the thousands of residents confused and worried. This evening, it was also announced that Metropolitan Melbourne will enter a 6 week lock down starting from midnight tomorrow. We spoke tonight with Marcella Brasset from Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) who have volunteered a helping hand by catering for the thousands of residence, making culturally appropriate meals.
