I follow and understand and can concur with most of what you wrote with the exception of:

"Again, I think it's perfectly understandable that measures are taken to stop these people who are either infected themselves or who were living in the same house as infected people - because that's who has been moved - infected people or their primary close contacts) just being able to get out into a city of 150,000 people who they could infect."

Justifiable for smallpox or other terrible communicable diseases. Not for this.

I’m not convinced COVID is serious enough to justify the things some Australian governments have done.

But keeping the disease out of communities where a very significant proportion of the population is immunocompromised - and that is the norm for indigenous people in Australia - where the health care system could not cope with even an outbreak that affected 1 or 2% of the population - that doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

Couldn't agree more. There needs to be a way to prove this is a genuine emergency and prove their "cure" actually works
