Story 1: Australia’s vaccination campaign is only just starting to gather momentum for those over the age of fifty. But new research is indicating a growing section of Australia’s political-right are unlikely to sign up for the COVID jab. Jack Alfonso explores where this disproportionate growth comes from, and whether or not Australia will see politicisation of the vaccine as observed overseas.
Story 2: Regardless of what position you fall on the political spectrum, people across the board seem to be more hesitant than usual when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine. This paints a worrying picture as we have to achieve a high level of vaccination to reach herd immunity. Our next story will take us to NSW’s north coast, where reporter Warwick Jones investigates the 'anti-vax capital of Australia'. How are they responding to the COVID-19 vaccine? and what kind of ramifications will this have on the state’s road to recovery?
Story 3: The COVID-19 vaccination process has been one fraught with oppositions; from libertarians protecting their individual rights to the bohemians of Byron Bay. Liam Healy talks to a member of Australians vs the Agenda, an anti-vax group who took to the streets of Melbourne last February to protest the government’s COVID vaccines roll out.
Story 4: Young people are becoming more and more tech savvy by the day. This exposes them to all different kinds of information. But this information can be complicated, divisive and sometimes false, as we’ve seen with COVID-19 conspiracies and vaccine scepticism. Riley Galloway explores how misinformation is affecting children and teens and how our education system is playing catch up.
