What Will Christmas Look Like This Year?

With COVID-19 restrictions set to ease across Australia over the coming weeks, many of us are looking forward to the festive season with hope that we will be able to see our friends and family and enjoy a 'normal' holiday.

But whether that will actually happen might depend on where you live in Australia, whether your loved ones are here or overseas, and if you are living with a disability or other potential vulnerabilities.

The Quicky speaks to an expert in epidemiology and biostatistics, and a Federal Senator who is also a disability rights advocate to find out whether we'll be celebrating or commiserating this December 25th.
