I’d suggest one part has been political and messaging: poor organisation from politicians in securing a sufficient number of vaccines and poor communication from them about the risks of something like the AstraZeneca version which means most people want to avoid it now.
I think the larger but less spoken about issue is general apathy and a lack of urgency from the population. Our case numbers and deaths are incredibly low by most global standards. Melbourne has been in and out of lockdowns, but most of the rest of the country have been _mostly_ going on with business as usual. The biggest impact for people has been the uncertainty around interstate travel.
