During the live program on Tuesday 25 August, we received the news of a car fire in the Sydney Harbour tunnel.


The tunnel connects the CBD to the northern suburbs.

A car burst into flames in the northbound lane of the tunnel at about 9:00am.

Our colleague Davide Schiappapietra, who was driving to work, was a few metres away from the car.

Listen to the interview in Italian:

Metropolitan Melbourne residents are subject to Stage 4 restrictions and must comply with a curfew between the hours of 8pm and 5am. During the curfew, people in Melbourne can only leave their house for work, and essential health, care or safety reasons.

Between 5am and 8pm, people in Melbourne can leave the home for exercise, to shop for necessary goods and services, for work, for health care, or to care for a sick or elderly relative.

All Victorians must wear a face covering when they leave home, no matter where they live. 

People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your state’s restrictions on gathering limits.

If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, stay home and arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
