It was cheers all round in the Money Management office this month as New South Wales eased restrictions for its residents. 

Although, of course, the cheers were all virtual over Zoom as no one is back in the Martin Place office yet, but Outsider appreciated the sentiment all the same.

  • Watching MPs argue about intermittent internet connections in Parliament;
  • Hampers being delivered for ‘virtual lunches’;
