This month we move in to a phase that is the most unrestricted period we have seen in over six months .
Finally the things we enjoy most are beginning to appear back on the menu . You ’ ll find all you need to know about what can and can ’ t be done inside this issue , but in short , we ’ ll be in the most relaxed mode we ’ ve been in since March .
All the isolation , sanitising , cleansing , distancing , mask wearing and knuckle-greeting has paid off , and our state is a shining example of how to battle our way through a pandemic .
While it ’ s near impossible these days to be a leader who governs to perfection , I think Gladys has come pretty close - particularly with all the hurdles there are in an unprecedented environment .
I know that I ’ m incredibly grateful to be from NSW , and from Australia , particularly at this time .
Of course it is important we keep up the social distancing measures , but let ’ s also enjoy our newfound freedom !
Let ’ s enjoy being around the people we love , support our local economy and support Australian made .
Happy days .
