It is also worth noting that the available evidence so far is that is was the right economic move as well, with the Australia GDP being 1.1 % larger than at the start of the COVID pandemic vs the UK who are 4.4 % lower than the start of the pandemic.

If Australia stayed lockdown for a while after we get our vaccination rates up, that would definitely give the rest of the world a chance to catch up on the GDP they lost during the pandemic, but that requires you to buy into the conspiracy that the politicians are champing at the bit to keep people in lockdown forever, regardless of the situation on the ground.
