Lockdown breaking up at the seams. The Australian attacks "scientific" basis for the lockdown

A major article in The Australian written by Adam Creighton (25/4/20) has attacked the "expertise" used in Victoria to justify its draconian lockdown. Entitled "Coronavirus": We're paying a high price for saving not many lives" it begins:

"The most absurd document published by an Australian government in recent times must be from Victoria’s Health and Human Services Department, which claimed 36,000 Victorians would have died from COVID-19 without the tough lockdowns brought in by Premier Daniel Andrews."

He contrasts this nonsense with the reality in countries without draconian lockdowns:
"Based on the simplistic Victorian analysis, Japan, South Korea and Sweden, which haven’t gone into lockdowns along Victorian lines, can expect deaths of 635,000, 256,000 and 51,500. These nations, all flirting with “catastrophe” according to Victoria, have respective death tolls so far of 330, 240 and 2021.
Garbage in, garbage out"
The article makes a good case for ending the ridiculous and totalitarian-style lockdown currently being implemented in several Australian States.
All over the world, the truth is now coming out: Coronavirus has a low fatality rate; a huge number of healthy people have been exposed to the virus with few ill-effects; the human cost of this lockdown is intolerable.

The Lockdown can be defeated if we stick to the issue!

It's clear the government is on the back foot over the lockdown. The protests over the weekend made it look as though they were the cause of the lockdown relaxation. This is good, and we need more of the same, especially in Victoria, where the most extreme measures still apply. The restrictions on socialising, normal family life, work, and even going to church, are ridiculous. The solution is to take no notice of them and protests are a great way of rubbing it in. If this is done on a massive scale, governments will think twice about doing this kind of thing again. Governments in the West are keen to use any excuse to engage in social engineering and extra control. They think Coronavirus is a great pretext. What not to do. The main argument being used by governments ruling by decree is to declare all opponents of the lockdown to be extremists with views most people don't share. This was always going to be their strategy but there's no need for us to play the game. We

Heroic action by Wagga Wagga City Council.

After the initiative from Councillor Paul Funnell, Wagga Wagga City Council broke off its sister city ties with a Chinese city because of the Chinese Government's lies and irresponsibility over the Coronavirus. Councillor Funnell deserves support. The Chinese government knew about the virus and covered it up for many weeks, making its containment impossible. Now we are all paying the price. But the Chinese government is not sorry for this or anything else. It is engaged in good, old-fashioned imperialism in the Sea of Palawan ("South China Sea"). It influence and corruption of some of our own politicians is a serious matter. Australia is a small nation which cannot afford to watch the growing influence of this totalitarian state in our region. Wagga Wagga city council's action, though now overturned under the influence of a few politicians (themselves not quite independent, to say the least), was a great symbol of independent spirit. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2
