There's so much noise in public debate about #COVID19Vic, it's hard (& distressing) for many to know what is essential, & what's not. If what I say seems obvious, accept my apologies. The top priority remains avoiding the real risk of a 3rd wave with many deaths #springst #auspol The hardship endured by Victorians is such that many are reaching a tipping point. That pain & sacrifice must be acknowledged & respected by the nation. A "Covidsafe" easing is easy to say, but difficult to deliver. Beware throwaway lines from opportunists. It must be gradual.
