A clear example of how the pandemic was politicised. Breaches of hotel quarantine (which it turns out may not have actually occurred) in Victoria were hammered day after day as 'Victorian mismanagement'.

We've turned it into just another round of the Rugby League or AFL, with people backing their favourite sides.
