Nostalgia
Cathy Wilcox
Wilcox reminds us of the pre-pandemic ‘good times’. The time when the drought over the eastern states put some communities onto Level 6 water restrictions. And the time in 2018 when major supermarkets stopped providing single-use plastic bags. Or seven years earlier, in the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi, when the price of a single banana nudged $3.
