Because the lockdown was the right call and the results show it.
Detaining people with no warning or explanation, and no arrangements for food, baby supplies or sanitary supplies, is disgusting. No other people were treated like that.
When the Ariele in Maribyrnong became a tier 1 exposure site, everyone got a letter delivered to their doorstep and people were still able to leave. Some people left the building without reading the letters and only realised something was happening when they saw the news crews.
The Kings Park complex in Southbank was notv surrounded by police to prevent anyone leaving.
Wealthy people on boats were locked down. This was a similar situation.
Aren’t you dead already, Kerry? Also, the people who were locked down on boats were willfully violating rules concerning interstate travel.
