The biggest fail is the relentless undermining of public health measures by the rightwing madhatters and media. We knew from the start that the ability to control the virus and get the economy moving was a function of people's willingness to do the right thing.
The LNP at federal and state level have weaponised the sincere public health approach of Labor states as a political attack tool. That is the problem here.
More monitoring will be called authoritarian, empowering those with political motives and few brain cells. And a tired and strung-out populace will be further weakened and less likely to do the right thing..
