As someone from South Australia I'm pretty happy with how our state has handled things so far. As soon as there's been any sign of community transmission of COVID we've had hard and fast "circuit breaker" lockdowns (which has only been a couple of occasions and no longer than a week) to allow time for contact tracing to find and isolate any potentially infected people.
I know a few people who're unhappy because the lockdowns have disrupted their business, but for the most part everyone I know understands that it's necessary to prevent outbreaks like Victoria have been suffering, or a complete disaster like the USA. SA has only had 4 deaths so far, less that 900 cases total, so we're doing quite well overall.
That said there is probably some bias as myself and most of my social circle are in essential industry and have been busier than ever. You'd probably get a significantly different response from someone in the hospitality sector or similar.
