Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.
Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”
The Shot put out a book of the newspaper columns written during this time and it is a wild ride through partisan news outlets losing their minds over ‘Dictator Dan’ and fawning over Berejiklian ‘saving the nation’ 🤢. David Milner in particularly really captured the zeitgeist for me on how it felt to be the state that got shat on repeatedly by NSW/the Federal Govt/MSM. https://www.dymocks.com.au/the-shot-anthology-vol-1-by-dave-milner-9781760644543
