Mate I live overseas and this topic comes up every single time I go to work. The conversation DOES NOT go like this:
”wow Australia is doing such a great job keeping the cases low, you must understand why you’re locked out of your own country”
Its more like:
”How can Australia get away with treating its citizens that way? In my country the government isn’t allowed to get away with it”
The overriding part of the conversation is about the trampling of basic human rights. There is no balance in Australia. It’s just “because of the virus” and that justifies any new bureaucratic rule, no matter the affect on people’s lives.
They also find it hard to understand why Australians don’t care for their own citizens that happen to be on the wrong side of the border.
Believe me, they’re laughing.
The Australian government is now looking to China as their role model.
