As NSW has shown, if you have a half-arsed lockdown, you get half-arsed results.
It’s not enough to have a strict lockdown on paper. It needs to be enforced. The police might be front and centre at lockdown protests but they’re invisible elsewhere. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to track down the obvious breaches of lockdown rules but it seems the police turn a blind eye to them. And when something like the St Kilda engagement party comes to light, all the attendees probably escape any action because the contact tracers need their cooperation.
