Finally the Federal Government has done something. Anything. Even if it is fu** all.
This whole thing rests on job keeper. It is the thing that keeps it going. I think the Feds (not just Morrison but departments and those funding it) have snatched it at Victoria and said you're on your own. While it is expediency. Those white hot on Labor where now pissed at Liberal for not acting and have directed their anger towards them.
So now Victoria has a question to ask itself. Is this mutant super duper fatal highly contagious virus so dangerous we need to shut the state down at all costs or we all die OR Are we actually prepared to destroy ourselves for the sake of a virus? No free money anymore or free ride. As you said in another post we need to own our decisions. By all means lock up save lives. But you won't have anything to come back to.
Somewhere like Bali or India shutting down has literally cost lives due to starvation. Yet no grand roll out there. Whole concept of lockdown is ridiculous. It is a luxury pure and simple. And one at least now in Vic we can't afford.
The federal government will have to come through. Victoria can't now let the virus rip or even think about doing it any other way when the stupid states, in the last instance SA, slam the borders closed before it's even announced we're going in to a lockdown. Forget it.
