Against all the odds, the Australian team at the Tokyo Olympics is on the verge of eclipsing one of the country’s proudest sporting achievements.

The NSW government’s worst fears have been realised as Sydney recorded its deadliest day of the outbreak, with five deaths and a new record case load as a snap lockdown was ordered for the Hunter.  Sydney’s economy desperately needs help to revive after being smashed by restrictions that have lasted for more than a month and may well continue into September.
