No we are lucky in Australia, one we don't get the huge crowds and two we don't seem to be as off the planet as Americans appear to be.

Seem to be getting the conspiracy idiots though.
Where I can see a problem is if multiple states do eradicate it but one or more doesn't.I'm guessing it won't work out . Might not be too long before we take a different course or action.
Not interesting, catastrophicWhere I can see a problem is if multiple states do eradicate it but one or more doesn't.
Individually those other states might be a bit of a pushover politically, the smaller population ones in particular, but collectively they're somewhat more significant. Even if it's just Qld, NT, WA, SA, Tas well they've still got a lot of clout between them.
I'm foreseeing a risk of some sort of conflict between the states and the federal government basically. I don't mean conflict as in military sort of conflict but perhaps the biggest conflict we've seen between states in a very long time. Any state which has actually eradicated it sure isn't going to be at all keen on having people come in from somewhere that it's rampant.
The idea that NSW and Vic, or even just Vic, is isolated from everywhere else for an extended period would be "interesting" to say the least.
That's the start in my opinion. You have to ask where their info is pushed from.No protesters are looting in Australia.

No, we are being impacted by a small number of people who do not believe rules apply to them.You are being played
I wondered how you would spin it to Morissons fault.No, we are being impacted by a small number of people who do not believe rules apply to them.
That said, more could be done here, as it has successfully been done overseas - eg see the link from @IFocus . For example, all modelling studies show wearing masks as being a vital step in getting the virus spread below Rnought.
The common factor in every successful country to date has been an unwavering consistency of "messaging" based on best available medical advice - and yes, that has included wearing masks once countries had adequate supplies for the public. Unfortunately Morrison blotted his copybook by fighting with States about "borders," while nationally and amongst most State Chief Medical Officers the wearing of masks is problematic The result has been a quasi political backlash from a small sector in the community who saw an opportunity to spread utter nonsense about the virus and challenge authorities.
There are dozens of lessons from around the world showing what is proving successful.I wondered how you would spin it to Morissons fault.
How come the problem is only in one State? Your obvious biases are showing through, as usual.There are dozens of lessons from around the world showing what is proving successful.
How come Morrison can't work out what is necessary for opening up economies while mitigating spread?
This isn't rocket surgery.
Morrison is the weakest PM I can recall in my lifetime, and I would say the same irrespective of his politics. Just as Shorten was one of the worst picks for Opposition Leader since Arthur Calwell.
?How come the problem is only in one State?
Well every other state seems to have got the consistent message, you really do need to open your mind, rather than trying to make the situation suit the answer you want.?
Really.
But you missed the point.
Australia lacks a consistent message on the virus.
Worse, it's out of kilter with best medical advice.

Nope - there is no consistent message on wearing masks, border restrictions, basis of hotspots, affected businesses and how, documentation, necessary duration or levels of lockdown.Well every other state seems to have got the consistent message, you really do need to open your mind, rather than trying to make the situation suit the answer you want.
All State decisions, only one State has flucked up, the rest have done extremely well.Nope - there is no consistent message on wearing masks, border restrictions, basis of hotspots, affected businesses and how, documentation, necessary duration or levels of lockdown.

I put blame where it lies and don't care who the politician is - but you can't get away from that perspective.All State decisions, only one State has flucked up, the rest have done extremely well.
I think the Federal Government has gone above and beyond with helping people, and I haven't received a cracker, so it isn't because of personal gain.
Time you bought some rust rid mate.
The PM is limited because it is a Federation and he doesn't have absolute say over the States.I put blame where it lies and don't care who the politician is - but you can't get away from that perspective.
As I said, there is no consistency of messaging at the national level.
We have a mishmash of State-driven arrangements because our PM is ineffective.
I began a separate thread months ago about how not to ruin our economy, and the steps not taken continue to feed into our collective woes.
