Not sure why Scott Morrison wasn't included. Many countries have experienced democratic backsliding but Australia has easily been the worst. Voted "other". Austria and Israel (which, at least, seems to be changing course now) are two particularly bad cases out of a whole lot of other countries (including my own) that failed this democratic stress test.
Never thought I'd see the day where I would criticize Scott Morrison and praise Stefan Löfven, but Sweden managed it the best.
Wasn't it more the state governments rather than ScoMo himself though?
Yeah, even if you hated Australia's response, Dan Andrews should be the villain rather than Morrison, who has consistently tried to tone down the restrictions. Andrews by contrast presided over the longest total lockdown period in the world (262 days for metro Melbourne)-though I think it was almost entirely bad luck and Victoria did pretty well.
