Australians’ unfamiliarity with the Constitution is enabling opponents to mount a scare campaign
”, September 23). Whatever it finds will all be forgotten by the time of another major outbreak. State governments will face the same issues and they will do what they think is best to try and manage the two opposing ends of the crisis: keep the economy going while trying to stop the spread.
