COVID-19 VACCINATION
We need to promote the benefits of vaccination
Referring to “Almost a third baulk at COVID vaccination” (The Age, 19/5), why focus on the negative? This may increase vaccine hesitancy for those who are on the fence, as we tend to follow what other people do. Instead, focus on the fact that according to the survey, a significant number of respondents were fully vaccinated, had had the first injection or were registered to have it, or said they were extremely likely, very likely or fairly likely to have it.

Sitting comfortably among the clouds, Australia 108 is a rather impressive sight. Its curved exterior and cantilevered star invoke a sense of modern elegance that is confirmed by the interior that features contemporary luxury seen within the multi residential buildings of today.
Residing in Southbank, adjacent to Melbourne’s CBD, the tower is an architectural marvel, that is a feat of gigantic proportions for both design firm Fender Katsalidis and Australian architecture as a whole. The tower, built by Multiplex for World Class Global took approximately seven years to complete. Encompassing 100 levels over 319 metres, the tower is the Southern Hemisphere s tallest residential building.

Architecture studio Fender Katsalidis has completed the Australia 108 skyscraper in Melbourne, which at 319 metres tall is the tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere.
The 100-storey skyscraper was designed to become a landmark on the city s skyline with a golden star dubbed the Starburst breaking its clean lines.

The design tries to redefine some of the stereotypes around how skyscrapers are expressed – from the innovative, cantilevered Starburst to the varying ways the building can be perceived.
