The Army may be brought in and fines increased. It is really "out of control"
What we are seeing now is a picture of 10 to 14 days ago!!
Gladys Berejiklian was the Coalition's poster child, successfully quashing every outbreak (until the last one) by contact tracing alone, while all other states used the short sharp "hard and early" technique, whether Labor or Liberal controlled. Gladys and NSW came a cropper this time by going "soft and late" while the federal government gave panicky and contradictory advice about which vaccine to use, putting off many. The funny thing is that Scomo is now calling for lockdowns to be "hard and early" after spending the last year castigating other states for doing exactly that. The problem Aussie has that it put its bet with using AstraZeneca vaccines and then scared many because of hyped up stories about side effects and poorer effectiveness. The government is now basically relying on a late supply of Pfizer vaccines and more lockdowns if necessary. NZ is in a good situation at the moment despite the moaning from the usual quarters, but a leak of the Delta variant into South Auckland could still happen and I guess there is a lot of finger crossing going on by Ashley and co.
