Rubbish.
nothing in the current situation is in anyway related to the ruby princess (yes, a fail…)
you might even say that the ruby princess debacle is what allowed NSW to work out how to handle this. There can be no argument that NSW has balanced COVID health with the economy and other health better than any state so far. They actually took the view that we are Australia, a country, not a series of countries run by dictators.
be parochial if you like. I prefer the ‘we are one country’ approach to that of the power hungry dictators.
