All very well but there was a lot of negative coverage of State Border closures and you saw how much difference that caused amongst the voters of QLD and WA.
Pre-Covid, there was a shortage of hospital beds, and hospitals on bypass, and ICU units full. Various state premiers want to believe that they do not have to permanently add expensive Covid units and quarantine to their health and hospital budgets. They are dreaming. Shutting down OS travel, so they can cap Hospital bed expansion is just not on.
You would have to search, but drron was the first one to predict an October election a while back, citing APH in September is moreorless closed. Budget tax cuts and booming property values another lick of goodness, tradies basking in murderous quotes, plus Labor staying silent with any bad news that may scare the flock. Yesterday Victoria announced new land tax increases. I expect other tax increases are planned more widely. Morrison has a backup plan, where he can change his mind, and say he always said he would under promise.
Hopefully he will match the USA in offering a 1 Million dollar covid jab lottery prize(s) for those who get vaccinated, overlapping the election period. What a nudge unit.
Now there are external events that could derail that plan, such as severe stock market corrections, or a huge Australian wide covid breakout caused by states trying to recreate what Victoria did by going cheap with a parallel quarantine system, without independent oversight, and not taking onboard past lessons learned - such as a national standard, and rationing PPE. Qualified experts have already made their comments known about Howard Springs. For just a piddly 400 jobs.
I agree - family reunion is very strong, Australia has many overseas borns, and people should be angry that over a year has passed and no quarantine facilities set up (because that would be a recurrent cost under someones budget).
