Makes you glad our moronic section of the population is pretty small in comparison.
Melbourne is just over 5M people.
I'm sure if you took NZ in total, and put it through 6 hard lockdowns over 18 months (over 400 lockdown days in total??), you'd shake out a few anti lockdown/mask/vaccine morons out, at the end of that.
But there is definitely a larger self entitled trade union movement in VIC/NSW especially, compared to NZ. Thinking that rules like 'no lunch smoko tearooms', mask wearing etc during Covid, they can just blatantly ignore, hence a surge in Covid cases on construction sites recently. So the VIC Govt closing the industry down for 2 weeks, when they have been so privileged to be allowed to operate through the pandemic.
A bit pathetically tragic as millions of locked up folks in VIC & NSW, many of whom haven't worked for months watch via their TVs a small group of 'protesting' idiots, many of whom have worked right through the pandemic.
