@ljo642 In one State in Australia (Victoria) the response is so heavy handed and lacks any proportionality (1 person in the whole state in ICU) you have to conclude it is more than just the sale of a vaccine or short term political control. It is looking more and more as each day passes as a deliberate attempt to smash the Australian economy for philosophical reasons. You can only conclude they are deliberately trying to destroy small business (the base of their political opponents) and create a massive base of people on permanent government handouts (who they assume will vote for successive left-wing governments).

The media are equally (if not even more so) to blame for this current mess. They now control the narrative, all politicians do these days is play along with that narrative to be 'popular'. Go against that narrative and the media will destroy you. I can really only think of one politician (not really a politician) in the world who doesn't give a stuff what the media thinks. And just look at the relentless attack that brings.
