uummmmm that was mainly due to M. hiding from his responsibility to unite the nation to work together. the Covid Cabinet quickly degraded into a battle between the states and Morrison delivering an "all's quiet on the western front" message of unity and harmony
he even palmed off quarantine, the main priority for the nation, to inadequate hotels "as a temporary measure" which became permanent.
M. did, and continues to do, as little as possible. except announce things.
