Seriously - why would anyone have expected anything else??
Dealing with a new virus with mutations, for all the pain Vic appears to have demonstrated that if people isolate/don't travel the spread stops.
Conversely, of course, once travel starts again there will be new cases as sure as night follows day.
Anyone who thinks this virus can be eliminated is nuts.
At best maybe it can be controlled whilst life goes on - some people will get sick, some may die but at some stage the siege mentality has to give way to getting on with life and taking the knocks.
Federally at some stage the govt gotta say "enough", Australia is one country and must look to move forward as one.
Maybe the removal of additional funding to states who don't want to "move forward as one" would give pause for thought?
Don't have the answer but at some stage a tipping point has to be reached where the good of Australia has to override the perception/whim of individual state and territory leaders.
With the present mentality W.A. will NEVER open again - and that is both bull**** and intolerable.
