I would beg to differ.
I have to live here, and actually had to see all this go down, and deal with its consequences...
Did you ever consider that other factors might be at play, here..? Like, say, being an island, with fully closed borders? Or the weather? Or the population distribution..?
Come on, man, the UK had lockdowns, too. Not quite as strict as Melbourne, or as long, but your logic is completely bullshit, and I think you know it, too.
Lockdowns DID NOT save Australian lives, and your "justification" of their "merit" is complete horseshit.

Undstatement of the year.
We were watching aussie cops crack people's skulls against the ground for not wearing a mask whilst in the UK, I was walking into grocery stores, unmasked, and purchasing from unmasked staff with the only abnormal entity in sight being a plastic barrier between me and the cashier.
Tbf, I visited multiple Aus states during this, pre-Delta, and really… It was only Vic that was completely insane. QLD second. Sydney WAS (not is, now) nowhere near as bad.
So… Melbourne is not (all of) Australia, in the same way that… I suppose London, or Brum, lol, is not (all of) the UK.
My state was exactly as you describe, for nearly eighteen fucking months, EVEN WITH people dying…
Then came October, and shit went off-the-charts insane, and yet no-one had died here in the entire year prior, and no one has died here (of coof) since. Not one.
Yet we have had TWO lockdowns in that time, vs the one prior. Plus “extreme social distancing”, plus curfews, plus masks, plus mandates. But I suppose it “prevents deaths” according to you, so it’s all worth it, hey..? 🙄

Sounds like my state.

It’s all completely, completely insane.
