We'll I wasn't answering for myself, but trying to explain what I believe is the mainstream thinking providing the political support for recent laws. As for me, I don't trust the federal government - they're appalling. I do have more faith in the individuals recruited into my local government to manage the pandemic, but most importantly I have no fear of the government's ability to enact any totalitarian fantasies they may harbour.

I'm supporting the lockdown, because it's the best substitute we currently have for widespread vaccination , which is in a diabolical state because the federal government isn't even really trying. Choosing lockdown over a huge death toll is not in anyway about supporting the federal government, who have generally been opposed to lockdowns. I do think rapid saliva tests would do a lot of good, I know some don't trust decentralising the control of testing, but I think it would allow us to ease the current restrictions with some degree of safety.
