A key distinction down here is that the states are entitled to close their borders to each other (something Australians had forgotten for the past hundred years). Consequently Victoria was locked out of the rest of the country by the other states, who had all successfully brought case numbers under control. We've had to get it to zero before the other states will even talk about reopening. That and we all want to be able to fly out to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands over the summer.
