Victoria began the first day of its seven-day lockdown on Friday – the fourth time that Melbourne had been shut down since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020.
The day was cold and cloudy, with ominously empty streets as people could only leave their homes for five reasons: food and supplies; authorised work; care and caregiving; exercise for a two-hour maximum; and to get vaccinated.
Following an anti-lockdown demonstration at Flinders St Station on Thursday night, Melbourne’s morning was obedient – empty – and it was not business as usual. The effects of lockdown were not unusual for the city of Melbourne, but this time, shops were shut without any form of JobKeeper assistance – and the 5km travel radius further accentuated problems.

A number of Greek-American businessmen and community organisations have proposed to rename the corner of 42nd Street with 23rd Avenue in Astoria as ‘Anastasios Tsakos Way’.
Anastasios Tsakos, a 14-year veteran of the police department, was fatally struck on April 27 by Jessica Beauvais, while diverting traffic from a previous fatal crash on the Long Island Expressway in Queens.
“I thought of this particular corner because that was where his family home was, where Tasos lived and grew up. I knew him for a long time, since he was in Astoria. He was a young man with a golden heart, always with a smile, laughter and puns, always with the willingness to help others,” Greek-American Constantinos Prentzas told
