Back to intense lockdown sparks anger in Australia

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT

Australia is worse off than India and several other countries as 13 million people, about half the population, endure fresh lockdowns to quash Covid outbreaks. A third state, South Australia, joined Victoria and parts of New South Wales in lockdown on Tuesday. The country's vaccination count is abysmally low with only 14% of Australians injected. Many people have expressed frustration at being back in highly policed lockdowns 18 months into the pandemic.
