We need to rigorously analyse data from recent lockdowns, so we can respond better to future outbreaks.
Queensland was a smoking ruin for federal Labor in 2019. As we head towards a possible election later this year, the sunshine state presents a big challenge — and opportunity — for Anthony Albanese.

States should only open their borders once they have eliminated coronavirus – and should only open them to states which have similarly achieved disease elimination.
