The nation is watching Sydney right now as it struggles to get this Covid-19 outbreak under control. For people in Melbourne, it's looking eerily similar to the second wave that sent the Victorian capital into 112 days of lockdown last winter...

We’re joined by Juliette O’Brien – a digital and data journalist who established covid19data.com.au, the definitive Covid-19 tracking website, who takes us through the chronology of the outbreak. How did this outbreak blow away the expectations of the state who’d been labeled the gold standard for managing covid risk?
