The Australian federal government has been aiming for a suppression strategy while the states have been eliminating the virus any time it appears anyway. We’ve had a few minor outbreaks over the last 6 months, just like NZ - and each one has been eliminated down to 0 cases again. Just like NZ. Practically speaking our policies are pretty much the same. And if either country has covid start spreading, I’m sure the international border will close again just like our interstate borders.

Exactly, and almost all of the relevant government people are organised by state rather than federally.

In aus, federal govt cares about economic issues... State govt are responsible for public health. Thus the differences in strategy are apparent.

Not quite. The federal government is responsible for primary care (i.e. seeing your GP through Medicare, Pharmaceuticals through the PBS) and aged care. States are responsible for Hospitals
