Then you would know how poor our international reputation has become. All governments in Australia failed us. All of them. The Federal Government with its overreaching (and continuing) border restrictions and failure to protect citizens from the abuses of the states, and the states with their abusive measures (many continuing), were as bad as each other.

The problem is that Covid is not, and was never, as bad as what "the Government said..." and there was no effective independent oversight of the measures used. There was no proportionality. A pandemic national plan based in science was thrown out and unscientific measures used instead. Scare tactics were used to control the population and coerce people into taking a test vaccine that we clearly see now is not only ineffective, increasingly we see the impact of quite severe side effects, such as heart attacks.

Japan had none of the restrictions that Australia had, all Japanese people kept their freedom, there were no border restrictions for citizens, no vaccine mandates, no lockdowns (bars and restaurants were asked to close or close early on occasions), no silly QR check-ins and they had slightly less deaths per capita than Australia. The government did not waste billions on shutting down the economy and paying people to stay home. Japan had both freedom and safety. This could have been Australia too, but the politicians and health bureaucrats got power hungry and failed us. They failed us terribly.
