@greenpea love the daisy!
I live in the western suburbs of the lockdown capital so yeah, not nice times indeed. Being an essential worker I could go out and about regardless, geez the traffic was amazing then. Lockdown 1, affected me even less than Lockdown 2, as I lived just outside the metro area, just outside the ring of steel dictator dan created. So on zoom calls with the orifice staff I couldn't understand their cabin fever, nor did I have the heart to tell them I'd been bushwalking with the kids. Lockdown 2 was worse as I'd sold the house and was renting within the metro area, the cops had the drones out checking people were complying with covid rules

@greenpea yeah seriously, there were police drones, the ring of steel checkpoints stopping unauthorised people from leaving the metro area heading regional, I used to call it the collander of steel as the checkpoints were only on the main highways, not the back roads. I had all the proper paperwork, I just hated the whole vibe of a police state.

@Sparky79 yes wa went the same way to a point but not as full on as vic. i used to go for walks with daughter and the streets were so empty. you could walk as a couple doing exercises but could not sit and talk heaven forbid. luckly for me i am a homebody and also had my workers who would take me out for doctors appointments etc.
crazy times. how do you think the election will go?

@greenpea hmmm it'll be labor who wins, unless by some miracle liberal gets over the line doing the old thing of forming a coalition and using the other parties numbers to have majority. Having to choose between the lesser of two evils isn't really a good choice. Voting for the smaller parties or independents is still a vote for one of the big 2 regardless.

@Sparky79 its a tough one isnt it. so many pple are hurting. i come from a liberal family because my father was in insurance and had his own small business. but this liberal party is a big L party and that concerns me over the environmental issues.... Alabanese on some issues appears weak but i dont know if Dutton is any stronger. Ugh! what do they say pick your poison.
