Let's put NSW aside for a second, both Vic and NZ locked down as soon as they got a whiff of delta and yet their numbers are still going up.
Vaccinations really are the only path out of this. And yes we need to lockdown for the meantime.
Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, WA and NT all have it under control because they all follow the right policies. I'm confident NZ will get it under control with their zero tolerance approach to COVID (harder lockdowns than anywhere in Australia at any stage - even takeaways closed). Gladys let Delta run out of control with her half-lockdown. Too busy listening to the business lobby who wanted to avoid lockdown at all costs. We know from the US and India how infectious it is. Yet she had unvaccinated people driving international air crew around (presumably also unvaccinated!).
