Is this the "Gold Standard" I keep hearing about?

No, the gold standard is NSW’s COVID handling, and you’re hearing about it cos bunch of Melburnians are feeling smug about the current outbreak being in Sydney 🤣

For more context: PM (Liberal Gov) liked to spruik NSW's (Liberal Gov) contact tracing as 'Gold Standard' at the tail-end of a sizable COVID wave in Victoria (Labor Gov), turning a public health issue into a partisan one, and pissing off some Melbournians in lockdown.
Now Victorians are throwing it back at them whenever an outbreak happens in NSW.
