Are you saying we are slackards?
We will try harder.
I promise you.

OK,
The last consideration I am aware of, involving the spike in Melbourne, is that people think the tens of thousands, who marched in the BLM protests, encourage the thinking:
If *they* can break social distancing rulz, then bugger the rules!
Understandable, but irresponsible.

It didn't help, with regards to the protests, that the state government had jumped in early on with the pandemic with harder rules than other states, then gave tacit approval for the protests by not fining those who attended, whereas they were happy to fine people for any other action during that time.

We shouldn't criticise them too much.
It was probably the first time in months that they got out of the house and so allowed their parents to have some time to themselves...
Another reason people believe the spike happened is because of the BLM protest march.
They can believe that but somehow COVID-19 New York with protests and riots keeps on going down.

Victoria and Andrews is the laughing stock of Australia.
But I'm not laughing.

Oh,
One more thing.
Andrews hired untrained security guards to make sure those in quarantine stayed there.
Guess what happened?
What a joke.

I wouldn't call them "untrained" security guards (having worked in the industry)...Undertrained and\or poorly trained, maybe...And probably understaffed as well for the site and what their duties may be.
Training requirements have dropped (Only a Certificate II needed now), and some places push you through that in a couple of days (including first aid certificate).

Untrained in handling the quarantine,
Obviously.
I wasn't going to say this, but it has been reported that at least one guy hopped into bed with one(?) of the people in isolation, and brought the coronavirus back to his family(?)

Considering some of the guards I used to work with...It really wouldn't surprise me.
There were some really good people I worked with, but also some who did the bare minimum...And only if they couldn't get away with doing less (a lot were just out of school, first job, and living at home with their parents).

I wonder how families would respond to having two burly Moari boys with swabs testkits saying "open up bro"

I hope you're not making racial or gender based assumptions about the security guards...Besides which, the Maori guys generally get allocated to crowd control roles, whereas the leftovers get these sorts of sites
Anyway, it's nurses who do the tests, as far as I know, and I haven't seen a large number of Maori guys in these sorts of roles across the many hospitals I've hed to visit.
