There aren't any significant policy or leadership differences between NSW and Victoria. They both used hotels for quarantine, they both used private security firms to monitor those hotels. It could have gone t1ts up just as easily in NSW. Most of the Victorian deaths are still aged care related. Dan at the very least tried to be proactive, and get on the front foot to tackle it head on, rather than the wait-and-see approach in NSW.

At any rate, covid is far from over, and in the final analysis it could look very different to what it does now.

Love it! SloMo’s vaccine strollout (this isn’t a race, after all  

If you drill down further and further as you examine the spread of covid, you eventually reach the point where the lack of preparedness in most countries is a result of decades of neoliberal ideology.

I thought NSW utilised Army personal during the first cruise ship outbreak that was offered as opposed to private security.

Not sure GTC. They probably mixed and matched, maybe the ADF didn't want to do it long term. I can't really remember.

Im only going by recollection, I recall Andrews being criticised for refusing ADF assistance whilst the other states like NSW did.

We had hundreds die in Victoria at the peak of the original CoVid19 outbreak and there are conflicting reports of the Delta being more or less deadly and I think its going to be important going forward to see if this version is indeed more deadly or the virus while spreading at a greater rate is killing as many people. Hopefully the mutations will make it weaker and we have less fatalities and learn a bit more, as for Gladys she has been caught on the fence playing popularity politics vs an extreme lockdown.....no real middle ground for her. We can really only judge her when this outbreak is controlled and the number of fatalities.
The difference between her and Dan to me is the lack of ownership from Dan with regard the quarantine debacle where he botched the security and then lied about who was responsible afterwards. But that is old news and I hope the people of NSW dont have the same numbers of fatalities we did, my wife has a lot of her family in NSW and I hope Gladys gets her act together and does a better job than Dan initially did and learns from where we went wrong in Victoria.
Its not a contest we just dont want to see NSW suffer like we did in Victoria and keep their fatalities to a minimum.

I'm not sure. The offical inquiry into the Victorian government covid response seemed to indicate a communication breakdown and a breakdown in the chain of command wrt to the ADF/no ADF debate. This is one of those things that is drawn along political lines, and i don't really want go there. It just ends up as a to and fro that goes nowhere.

Communication breakdown, Is that what they call it they days? All that crapfull enquiry uncovered was how rampant amnesia is in the Labour Party. Disgraceful.
