My comments weren't about Australian financials; however the lockdown isn't the only contributor

- The political fallout between China and Australia is worsening, the long term ramifications don't look good. This isn't attributibal to the lockdown.

- Australia's short term economy is currently recovering well after lockdown [1]

The fallout between China and Australia is because of Australia's incredibly aggressive Covid strategy and rhetoric.

The COVID strategy isn't the reason for their fallout. It is the government's attack on the CCP and pushing for an inquiry.

That is the Covid strategy. If they weren't heavy handed they wouldn't have these opinions and push for an inquiry.

You're conflating Diplomatic Strategy and Pandemic Control together

It's basically the same heavy handed strategy: Go hard!
