What's gone wrong with Australia's vaccine rollout?
The country has been far slower than others including the UK and the US to immunise its population.www.bbc.co.uk
"Last month, it fell 85% short of its own target - and the lack of clarity around the process has been criticised.
Supply shortages and delivery problems have been blamed for the delays."
That’s true, we’re still doing over 60s, frontline etc. 2M out of 26M vaccinated. Mainly because we have so little infection that it is less urgent than most other places. It would look like a bad choice if we have a big outbreak, though.
The definition of close contacts is pretty strict. E.g.

This is sad and very grim.
Yep, Johnson is doing everything he possible can to reduce infection.
The person who originated the current infection in Perth quarantine was someone who the Federal (not state!) govt let travel to India for a sodding wedding. Thanks Scomo.
Hang on, that can't be right, didn't @Essexyellows say that the government act with a JFDI mentality? Or did he mean JFDI(IFD)...
Most of the people whining about their liberties are Tory back-benchers.
Sounds like you're the big liberal here. Your approach seems to be that governments can vaguely suggest things, but can't actually enforce anything in case it annoys people, and don't really have a lot of power or responsibility anyway.
