Australia doesn't look too well lately to be honest. Not really sad to live at the opposite side of the planet right now.
I think shielding vulnerable people from infection is a laudable and necessary goal for a state that wants to be a service to the population, I don't believe a state has an end in itself aside from consolidating the interest of the population.
This is clear evidence that states cannot responsibly manage their power if they aren't restricted by necessary boundaries.
