We are the victims of our own success.
If we had gone through what the UK, USA, Italy, Spain and now India have then we would be queuing up. The truth is most Australians haven’t been that affected either financially or by the virus itself. And few would have had a relative or friend who has been hospitalised or died from it. With the exception of no international travel things are back to normal.
Maybe we need to raise taxes now to pay back the debt or put towards those still affected. Might sharpen people’s minds as to the cost of keeping things closed due to low vaccination rates. Of course you would need bi partisan agreement which would never happen.
And In fact the well off are going to get tax reductions apparently.
