LIV: I've got mixed feelings about the borders reopening. Yay.ĭANIEL ANDREWS, VICTORIAN PREMIER: I simply cannot tell you how proud I am of every single Victorian who has persevered, shown great courage and character, but also shown amazing kindness towards each other.
We don't need masks in most situations, the theatres are open. There's obviously a lot of excitement, but it certainly has to be tempered by making sure we continue to look out for each other.īEN: Well, in Victoria, we've got 90 percent vaccinated, that means we can pretty much do most things. As more and more people are getting the vaccine, the restrictions are eased more and more.ĭOMINIC PERROTTET, NSW PREMIER: Vaccination has been key to us being able to open up. We still have to wear masks outside, not many people do, but we still have to wear them. LIV: Right now, New South Wales lockdown is over for fully vaccinated people, we're back at school and borders are reopening.ĪLICE: It's slowly getting better. My friends and I spoke a lot online, and I think that if we didn't have that way to connect and we weren't at home talking to each other so much our friendship and our group wouldn't be as strong as it is now. LIV: I actually created better and stronger friendships. Australia is able to live differently.įRANKIE: The best part about 2021 was being able to spend more time with the family and going bike riding and doing some cooking.ĪMELIA: It was also great to sleep in and exercise with my friends.ĪLICE: I just enjoyed the break from school and the pressures of just being so new to high school and having to try and work everything out. SCOTT MORRISON, AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER: Australia gets vaccinated. Well, the good things, which there aren't many of, the vaccine rollout, us being nearly 90 percent vaccinated and starting from one of the slowest people to get the vaccine to one of the highest, so that's pretty good. Because me and my family normally go to other places for the holidays, but because of COVID restrictions we couldn't go.īEN, VIC: Well, the worst thing probably has to be all these protestors like anti-vax like we don't believe in the vaccine, it's kinda bad. OLIVER, VIC: The thing that sucked the most about lockdown, probably just not being able to go to school, having to do online learning, all that kind of stuff.ĪLICE, NSW: Definitely being stuck at home for the holidays. We've spent months in lockdown and even longer in remote learning and I also lived in an LGA of concern which meant we had tougher restrictions than the rest of the state.
I live in an area where it wasn't a hotspot area, but we were still in lockdown for months and months. GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN, FORMER NSW PREMIER: From 6pm today all of Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast and Wollongong will go into a lockdown.ĪMELIA NSW: New South Wales went into lockdown in different stages. PROFESSOR TONY BLAKELY, VIRUS SPECIALIST: This is a different game now. So, we thought we'd check in with BTN's regular rookie reporters to find out how they were affected and what their hopes are for 2022.įRANKIE, VIC: This year has been pretty rough, COVID wise, we have been the most locked down city in the world, and it's been hard.ĭANIEL ANDREWS, VICTORIAN PREMIER: I'm declaring a state of disaster across Victoria. And a lot of you spent the year learning from home. Do you remember when we thought we'd be putting COVID-19 behind us in 2021?ĪMELIA: Ugh, that didn't really happen, did it?ĪMELIA: There were still lockdowns and closed borders and plenty of hand sanitiser. COVID Kids WrapĪMELIA, REPORTER: All that soon, but first, let's talk about the pandemic. We'll also give you a look behind the scenes at the times when thing didn't go quite right on BTN, and we'll be testing your knowledge with our end-of-year super quiz.
