A solid result in a tough climate. Nice to be able to use video to bring financial results to life this year!

Golf & fishing banned yesterday, but allowed today. Golf I understand... you’re not standing still. But if the breastfeeding mums were sitting down with a fishing rod, that would have been ok?

Police in NSW are ramping up their social distancing crackdown on Sydney's parks and beaches - and you'll no longer escape with just a warning. @cokeefe9 #COVID19 #9News

Hard to believe how much has changed in the world since the fires were the biggest threat we were facing!

[NSW RFS @NSWRFS]

Today marks the end of the most devastating bush fire season in the states history. More than 5.5m ha burnt, over 2400 homes lost and most tragically 25 lives. The response by emergency services and the community has been nothing short of amazing. #NSWRFS https://t.co/IEZ0MAfpj9

So this situation is bringing out the best of humanity 😖 #COVID19Aus

A man has allegedly headbutted and spat on a policewoman after being told to leave the closed Maroubra Beach. #9News https://t.co/kC2hEuTlhg

@9NewsSyd Maybe they’d have been more comfortable at Christmas Island, like the Wuhan evacuees had to endure earlier in this crisis? Swissotel is hardly slumming it!

[Laurel-Lee Blain @LL_Blain]

Tbh, didn’t look like their year anyway 🙄 Do I get my membership refunded I wonder...

See you when we see you ❤️😭 #redv

I hope these steps are enough to slow the spread of the virus, but I fear more restrictions are inevitable. Thoughts are with the workers in hospitality & sport who don’t have a job to go to tomorrow :( #COVID19Aus

[The Sydney Morning Herald @smh]

PM Scott Morrison has announced drastic bans on pubs and clubs in bid to stop coronavirus. https://t.co/Db7sRlyGNp

I can not comprehend how these passengers were allowed to just disembark the ship like everything is normal. Why test if you are going to let everyone walk off the ship before the results come back!

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

#BREAKING: A significant number of people have tested positive to #COVID19 on a cruise ship off the coast of Sydney. @cokeefe9 #9News

Got to love the creativity 😂 #SocialDistancing

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

Social distancing to the extreme!

This man was spotted practising the PM's new rules at a Melbourne shopping centre. #9News

Watching the NRL on TV with no crowd. ANZ Stadium looks just a bit eerie, not to mention the echo! Surreal. #NRLBulldogsCowboys

[Laurel-Lee Blain @LL_Blain]

Season shortened, but no confirmation on whether the season will start in just 3 days time. Delaying the inevitable?

I haven’t been visiting the gym as often as I should lately. After reading this, I might go for a bike ride instead 😳 #COVID19Aus

[The Daily Telegraph @dailytelegraph]

An Australian virologist has warned Sydneysiders not to go the gym, as COVID-19 lingers on exercise equipment and can spread quickly. This comes as a popular gym in Sydney’s CBD confirmed a person who worked out there has been infected with the virus.

[PrivateHealthcareAus @PHA_Healthcare]

From April 1, premiums will increase by an average of 2.92%. Health funds don’t want to increase premiums by a single dollar, but it allows funds to continue to be in a position to provide members with access to quality and timely healthcare. @sophieelsworth

Disgraceful that this is necessary. Female sportspeople deserve much more respect - the trolls should be ashamed of themselves. https://t.co/We1zpebxoQ

Cmon girls, hope the rain doesn’t decide the game 🤞

[Australian Women's Cricket Team 🏏 @AusWomenCricket]

Meg Lanning the ⭐ for the Aussies, finishing unbeaten on 49.

We'll be defending 134 for a spot in the #T20WorldCup final at the MCG! #CmonAussie
