Hindsight is a wonderful thing mate. While the victorian debacle is unfortunate no doubt, it has identified the 17% that couldn't care less about the pandemic and more than happy to share it around. That alone would have made containment within the nation impossible. We know that 17% are in every state, so we in the unaffected states are grateful to victoria for exposing that weakness.
That issue alone will keep our borders closed for a while yet.
