Stay Home

For now, staying home is our safest option to ensure our health and safety. But for those in the community experiencing family violence, home is often the most unsafe place they can be. Where can victims go when they have been told to stay home?

Warning: This story includes descriptions of violence against women in abusive relationships.

Reporter: Alexandra Middleton

The Right Words for Loneliness

During the last month we adjusted to a new ‘normal’. One of staying at home and being socially distant to help slow the spread of Coronavirus. The term ‘social distancing’ has become part of society’s everyday vernacular. But the phrase is proving to be more isolating than intended.

Reporter: Phoebe Humphrey

Elderly in isolation

For most of us, our time in lockdown has consisted of Zoom meetings, Netflix watch parties and daily iso walks to get some fresh air. But for some, going online or outside is simply out of the question. Australia’s elderly population have been told to stay home for their own safety, but what happens when they still need help? And will these few months leave them more alone than ever? We hear from Robert, 92, who, despite the challenges he faces, is still pretty upbeat.

Warning: This story contains descriptions of Christmas in 1967 (which is always a sign of a good story!)

Reporter: Eliza Sears

COVID-19’s impact on local arts and music

During the bushfire season, arts and music events raised millions of dollars in aid by bringing people together. But when the artists and musicians have lost a lot of their traditional sources of income, who is going to raise millions of dollars for them? COVID-19 has changed lives of many of these artists and musicians. What does this mean for the arts and music industry, which relies so much on live events and mass gatherings, and what will they do?

Reporter: Leyla Arrykova

Scams and pandemics

Natural disasters can bring out the best and the worst in people. Some want to help those around them in any way they can, while others can get a little bit selfish. But then there are other people who try to make money off those who have fallen into hard times. As journalists, we are trained to be skeptical. But the reality could often be more interesting. What looked like a scam or a soulless bot turned out to be something else.

Reporter: John Moyle

Dating in isolation

Relationships are tricky at the best of times. So what happens when you add a global pandemic and a strict stay at home rule into the mix? For many of us, the answer is not a positive one. But that doesn't have to be the case. Here's a story to help you handle love and relationships when you can’t even leave your house.
