So far over 70% agree with the extended lock down, from about 140 000 votes.

Outrage porn is what our media is great at. Just read the headlines. Not one positive piece of news ever comes out. Whenever we have a low case number they focus on deaths and lock downs. There has now been two sets of "surveys" done that has attracted over 100,000 respondents, one from nine news / the age and one from herald sun, both love an Andrews bashing.....and the results of both resoundingly supports the current strategy.
When people start making threats against MPs' families and their children, you know something isn't right. Some of the stuff said against Fiona Patten and Samantha Ratnam is just vile. Are these people really angry at the restrictions, or is there a deeper problem and this is just an excuse?
It also made me think today about how asylum seekers mentally cope with being locked up indefinitely.......
