You also have to remember that Melbourne is a far left city like Portland, San Francisco and Seattle. The population so overwhelms the rest of rural Victoria (which is much more conservative). So Melbourne elects the Premier, who is Dan Andrews, who is far left and a dictator like DeBlasio in NYC. In Oz, the states have far more power than the USA and they make the rules for Covid, not the Federal Government. The police force is far left in Melbourne. So this is not representative of all of Australia. NSW (Sydney) now has a new Premier who is anti-lockdown, so that is great news. The tide is turning in Australia against the lock-downs.
Thanks for the info! I love having ppl from other countries and regions on FR because there’s a whole world out there besides the USA and knowledge is power.
Dom in NSW is continuing the Gladys plan which is a continuing lockdown there on Monday for the unvaccinated.
Isn’t that the truth about the new premier, he’s supporting the lockdown for the unvaccinated to continue while there’s an easing for the vaccinated people.
