There's a distinction between what they did and what you're describing here though. There's no way the analysis they reported could be done with aggregate data only. It would have required individual patient data.
While that's no doubt true, I've never heard of such a thing in Australia. But if it had happened, they would've had an ethics approval (albeit a broad one) rather than done the research without it

Yes. But if that's the case, how do they have every COVID death in the country in a database?
