The Federal government was responsible for 4 things during the pandemic.
1. Border management - a no brainer, yet they still took too long to get their act together and were entirely responsible for the first wave. It wasn't NSW & the Ruby Princess, it was the Feds being useless

2. Quarantine - the States took it on as a stop gap measure as they had the resources to provide for the immediacy. The Feds have done nothing since, but play one state off against the other over a third best, temporary solution. We should have all Australians by home now.
3. Welfare - money into household's pockets and links to businesses to respond the massive shock. What we got was the largest ever rorted government payment program in Australian history that is an embarrassment to the word "governance"
4. Vaccination. The Feds won't be honest to the States about supply issues causing major problems for vaccine deployment and the domestic supply lines are absolute garbage. The Fed rollout plan is fantasy, and now the States are being forced to take over that too!
This government has been an absolute embarrassment, a den of incompetence and shallow buck passing, filled with people - garbage people - out of their depth on managing the livelihoods of 25 million Australians. There are no redeeming features here at all.
