Thats great about your friend, though it doesnt really hide from the fact her performance hasnt been that great as you put it.
She closed the borders and they still have the same amount of deaths as most of our states. I also read the other day there are some people taking her to court so she isnt liked by a fair few people over there.
Have a read about what the law suit was about.
It should give you a laugh, she was being taken to court over lockdown rules. You know one of the things you (and me for that matter) praise ScoMo for.
law suit has been dismissed BTW
She has done a great job in protecting her country and they are on the road back, a bit like here isn't it?
On the national debt. From what i understood we were about to deliver a budget surplus in May. How does Victorias stack up? Surely they were about to announce a surplus too before all this happened?
A surplus is not the same as our ever increasing growing national debt (borrowings).
But you are aware that the surplus the govt were boasting about was only possible by them taking money from the futures fund; funds in earmarked for things like the NDIS
, yes my hobby horse the NDIS had further funding ripped out of it to enable this govt to achieve a surplus - that is disgraceful.
So if you are proud of govt that cuts funding to those that needed it most to achieve a "claytons surplus" then you are backing a winner
Funnily enough even before this crisis there were those within the govt that said they were not going to achieve the promised surplus (even Joshie the treasurue tripped up and it and within 30 seconds said he didn't say it
)
As the days go on its very clear scomo has been the best leader in the world in regards to how he has handled this pandemic. Many ALP voters i know have now conceded he has done a tremendous job and would vote for him based on this performance. Unfortunately for the haters its back to the drawing board.
Scomos views on Virgin, and now on the schools reopening has been excellent and shows that as a leader he is ready to make the big calls. 
ScoMo has done very well that is clear; he has made some very poor calls early on but overall has got us to good place.
But so to has his national Cabinet. It has been said by a number of people that ScoMo has been pushed by a number of the Premiers in making tough calls because the certain Premiers where going out on their own for to make their states safe.
Is he best leader in the world? matter of opinion but I am thankful that we have him and not that lunatic in the USA.
If people want to vote based on this that's their call but there's always more to consider or at least should be. For this one positive there are still so many negatives.
The lying by a certain minister about the Ruby Princess (the day that spud takes responsibility for that stuff up and quits the better we will be), the sports grant debacle, the under funding of basic services are but a few. But if they don't matter to people now, fair enough
