They even had drones flying around, at one point, harrassing people for being out and about/at the beach, and remember McGowan with that Aboriginal woman..? That video was out of WA...
But WA had the harshest border restrictions, and I recall them throwing someone in jail for crossing state lines ("sneaking", as they called it), at one point, so...
They were almost as bad, to be fair.
In order of awfulness, it was like: Victoria, then the NT, then WA and Qld (about equally bad), then SA, then NSW, then the ACT, then TAS, IMHO, but it varied month by month and policy by policy...
In general the states with Labor (centre left, supposedly) governments at the time (so, the first four on that list) were much worse, though...
