App-artheid europe

Here’s an interesting thought. Imagine Australia’s state premiers were put in charge of Europe. How would our politicians who’ve responded to handfuls of cases with fiercely-policed lockdowns, outdoor mask rules and Cold War borders react to Europe’s – on the face of it – much more alarming Covid figures ?

Luxembourg in territory and population is roughly comparable to the ACT, so if our leaders were each allocated a European country, it would make sense for Chief Minister Andrew Barr – who recently locked down Canberra over one Covid case – to get the Grand Duchy.
