The death rates per million this week in the UK and Sweden are lower than Australia.
Meanwhile in NZ and Vic. everyone who just started to get their jobs back has been slammed again. Are we going to shut down for six weeks every three months indefinitely?
People who advocate hard lockdowns are inevitably on the public payroll have suffered nothing - Vic. Public Servants just got a pay rise to rub your noses in it.

Mr Whispering T-jet. Let me make it clear, when it comes to press conferences in the press gallery you are not to ask questions on other countries/states successes.
In fact you really are not to ask questions, in case you put myself or any other minister for that matter on the spot. Let me make it perfectly clear, the model we are working on is coming on nicely.
Now really really, I want to make it very very clear and reassure all Victorians the model has 4 weeks to go and then the model will be disclosed. However, I cannot disclose the model now
due to that fact the model has not been tested before. I realise a lot of people are under severe stress and pressure though that is what the modelling is all about. I couldn't make it any clearer than that.
For clarity sake let the model do it's thing and we will be over this. I know I'm repeating myself, though the jingle "we are all in this together" is the clearest message of all.
As to rubbing our noses into pay rises well that was clear went you elected me. Are we all clear on that. Righto then, I'm off and going home to work on my model.
