How soon some forget!!!
NSW has shown how to reduce the transmission by excellent contact tracing while still allowing the State to work and prosper with limited restrictions.
I can certainly understand the NSW Premier wanting to wait until VIC could prove they were as capable.
As for QLD....one can only sense that it is based on the Election and the Political advantage it give the incumbent, although I would doubt that the Tourism Industry (and those that were there employed) in SE Qld, Cairns or the Whitsunday area would thank her. The airline industry certainly doesn't.
All of the new cases in Vic have been from people in isolation tied to clusters. The system is working.
