Residents in aged care and defence force personnel have received a special mention in Scott Morrison s Christmas message, as the Prime Minister reflected on a torrid 2020. Australia suffered a relentless 12 months, ushered in with cities blanketed in smoke as bushfires raged across the country. The unusually intense Black Summer burnt more than 18 million hectares, destroyed more than 5000 properties and killed 34 people. But by the time Australia emerged from the devastation, a new emergency had arrived on its shores. The first case of COVID-19 in Australia was confirmed in January, with the virus going on to claim more than 900 Australian lives, devastate businesses and force Melbourne into a gruelling three-month lockdown.
