IMO the Commonwealth Government should pay all the States' costs of managing Covid because under our Constitution States are not allowed to levy special taxes such as a tax to pay the Covid-19 costs.
Insead an inept Commonwealth Government is duck shoving & politicising Covid by blaming States whose primary objective was to protect the health of its residents
And regarding the Commonwealth's economic damage minimisation position of early open borders , that is not backed up by its overall lack of concern for Australia's economic wellbeing due to ScoMo throwing Trump shitballs at China, our biggest and best trading partner.
