Aussies certainly like their CCP style lockdowns, I'm so glad I left that place more than a decade ago.

Mysteriously, it isn't in Japan.

Aussies recognize the need for public safety and these lockdowns are nothing like the CCP lockdowns where you cant leave home for any reason. Aussies are reasonable and intelligent and have done a great job of controlling the spread of covid, time after time.

I am so glad I live here and not in a country that will not take measures to protect its people.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Lockdowns just postpone the inevitable

Sure. They postpone the inevitable of getting everyone vaccinated.

You can't just stagger in and out of lockdowns,

Yes, you can.

Japan's doing a much more sensible job handling it.

What do you mean? Japan have been going into state of emergency after state of emergency for over a year. The impact on businesses, the economy and people's lives has been far less in Australia because of their lockdowns.
