Heck I'm going to the cinema this evening to see the new Bond flick...it's just about full.
and that we didn't want to fall too far behind NSW
Good Times these days, what are our restrictions that'll we'll be all facing over christmas that MClown keeps on about??
Whilst that might have been part of it, I suspect that the population wasn't going to wear it for much longer. Losing control entirely would not be a good look the chairman.This was main driver, if NSW hadn't opened up already I suspect greater Melbourne would have been more restricted until the daily case numbers were lower (under 500).
Of course not, and especially so once NSW were freeI suspect that the population wasn't going to wear it for much longer.

You can in no way convince me to believe that Victoria would be in the state of open we are now without NSW leading the way.Vic actually had its Roadmap out before the NSW Roadmap and it was indicated at the time that as it was following the National Roadmap that they would stick to it as long as hopitilastions (and other adverse outcomes) were under control. The advice being that to get vaccinated as there was no going back.
Hospitalisations are under control and so Vic has opened up as per the roadmap.
Case numbers, hospitalisations etc are all less than the modelling and so the hypothesis that Victoria would only have opened up more slowly with less cases does not at all match what was publicly stated. And indeed case numbers are not even that relevant anymore. It is the number of severe adverse health outcomes that matter.

Which was based on modelling cherry picked by the government as it suitedthe case numbers, hospitalisations and ICU numbers were all as per below
Which was based on modelling cherry picked by the government as it suited
a) the doomsday agenda
b) the justification for restrictions up until then
c) writing and passing of future legislation in parliament
Oh I agree completely.Every state gov has cherry picked the modelling to suit their agenda of the hour

It gets to a point when it's clear to the government they can't continue down their lockdown path forever.
I personally think the VIC protests had more to do with the reopening than NSW.
Next they'll be claiming they are building trial units for the athletes village in 2032
