New book by Nic D'Alessandro coming real soon. Perfect read when curled up next to the fire. As the man in the hat used to say: Do yourself a favour, go buy this book! Warning, you may not put it down! #o2thenovel

I don't post here often, but this is so important. Please people, stay home!

The message is very clear to the Victorian community. There are only four reasons why you should leave home - to get essential goods and services, for care and other compassionate reasons, to work or study, or to exercise. Outside of these reasons, people need to stay home.
