      New rule: you can only say NSW should be in a harder lockdown if you can provide at least one (1) additional restriction that is supported by data that demonstrates said measure would reduce COVID transmission.

      This type of NSW mentality will see cases rise with no peak in sight. Obsession not to be Victoria has stuffed ya

      I completely disagree. The differences between the lockdowns are extremely minor, and in practice NSW is almost identical to the implementation in Victoria last year

          Wow, that's embarrassingly factually incorrect.

          Your disagreement does not change the facts. Pretty big hubris if you think it does.

          When you say 'in practice' and 'the difference between the lockdowns is extremely minor', do you mean the rules or their outcomes in terms of behaviour? Because if the former and not the latter, what's the cause of the latter and what's to be done about it?

          And if the latter, what metrics are you using?

          Payment to isolate if waiting for a test if lost work/shifts. More consistent messaging and “rules”. Modelling and a roadmap out. Huge amounts of effort to engage vulnerable communities, as well as industries to keep operating if possible with appropriate restrictions.

          Everyone I work with who lives in Sydney agrees that Bunnings etc should be closed. It just looks mad to go browsing for things when you might take home a deadly disease as well as a new garden tool.

          Same here, Bunnings should be tradies only, otherwise contactless click & correct. Far too many retailers open.
