I wouldn't be surprised. We are called "the lucky country" because we survive on blind luck. A bit of good ol Aussie "she'll be right, mate" attitude goes a long way... In screwing us over in a pandemic like this. Just look at how they discharged those first few confirmed cases after only 2 days of hospitalization, saying they were fine. That was weeks ago, when even scientists didn't know much about how contagious the virus was or how long people remained contagious, etc. That was a seriously stupid move!
