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).
