Completely agree. Also very proud of my home state Premier, Dan Andrews, for showing backbone when people needed it. Don’t agree with everything he did without qualification, but I’d vote for him again.

All in all Aus put in a solid performance with this pandemic - one of the best, I reckon, and markedly better than that of Japan, where I currently reside.

Dan did alright. My parents (lifelong Liberal voters) had nothing but praise for him and his daily stand ups. He did well to bring it back from the brink at the time and the rest of the country got a good lesson in how quickly it can take off. Dan just needs to stop doing dumb shit like sign up for Belt and Road funding.

I'm in Qld and the response/outcome so far has been better than New Zealand's (with comparable population size).
