> Bureaucratic. Pointless. Vindictive against scapegoats.

Oh, so the law shouldn't be the same for everyone. Not making exceptions for celebrities is "bureaucratic, pointless, vindictive".

That's one way of looking at it. Seems to be yours.



I do want consistency - the stupid restrictions should be scrapped for everyone, not just Djokovic.

* People who do not have COVID should be allowed to do whatever they like.

* People who are currently known to have COVID maybe should get treated differently.

Banning people who don't have COVID, who likely have immunity to COVID and who have more than enough money not to be a drain on the hospital system is really stupid. Spiteful behaviour just to make a point.

All these restrictions didn't stop 1.1mil ... so far & rising ... cases in NSW in 2 months. They are completely pointless. They didn't do anything. They are a waste of time that do no good and that we do not need. Anyone who cares can go worry about their own personal lockdowns.

There are single digit travellers daily who have COVID. 10,000+ daily local cases. Restrictions on tourists are literally meaningless. And didn't even stop Omicron crossing the border.

This has descended into farce, there is no justification beyond bloody-mindedness at this point.
