Depending on which echo chamber you get your news from, last week Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took steps to either save democracy, or to end it. Zuckerberg announced several changes to Meta’s moderation approach, including replacing third-party fact-checkers with a user-driven Community Notes model.

Just as intergenerational contact has been observed to improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly, so does the meaningful interaction facilitated by a shared reading group.

If the past four years have taught me anything, it’s been a masterclass in understanding the things we have to win back and protect if we are going to see the health of post-pandemic Australia thrive again. Here follows my "Cleaning-up-the-Covid-mess" New Year/Christmas wishlist.
