Oz and NZ's behavior is very authoritarian, but it's not deliberate, premeditated, institutionalized, industrial mass murder. Even Lothario Cuomo wasn't actually trying to *kill* his old folks. I think.

Do not leave your room if the fire alarm goes off.
It goes on to list reasons for a false alarm and then goes on to say if it is a real fire still do not leave room until instructed so they can maintain social distancing. Yea I bet the original fire evacuation plans took that into consideration. They are literally going to get people killed.
The world has truly gone mad!

The Aussie government has gone full retard!
Don’t leave your room in the event of a fire!
Don't go the hospital if you have a heart attack
We shall maintain non-social distancing at all costs for covid-zero!!
Burn to death you super spreader.
Meanwhile…..buried in the news today

Guessing one of his handlers told him that the Aussie public wasn’t going to vote for him if he continued these shanangins.

Way too much emphasis on police and military enforced lockdowns and $3900 fines and way too little emphasis on making vaccines available to those who want it.
it was and is a losing strategy. If you can’t keep smugglers from importing meth from Indonesia and Thailand - and they can’t - stopping people from bringing in the delta variant ain’t going to happen.
Now, having spent their credibility, the Aussie and Kiwi governments are in deep kimchee with their angry and largely unvaccinated people.

I wouldn’t have expected such an Orwellian, authoritarian, dystopian power grab of this magnitude from a modern western democracy but it proves one thing: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
As to your question R1830, they’ll never admit they were wrong. In Oz, the UK, the US or anywhere. Admitting that none of this worked would destabilize their authority and control.
