From gender equality and domestic violence advocates, to medical frontliners, to a quantum physicist and a marine archaeologist – this year, Newspoint has been privileged to meet many people who are in the middle of it all.
Below are the top quotes on Newspoint of 2020:
- “Gender equality is not just a women’s issue. Everyone stands to gain from changing the status quo” – Prof. Brenda Murphy, Associate Professor at the Faculty for Social Wellbeing

But this gave us time to prepare ourselves well” – Infection control nurses Noel Abela, Rebecca Cachia Fearne, Claire Farrugia and Deborah Xuereb
- “It is not the case that quantum internet ever meant to replace present-day internet. Quantum internet would supplement our current networks and provide us with new capabilities” – Prof. André Xuereb
