Australia beat the world on shutting out Covid. Now it is bitterly divided on how to reopen
CNN
An increasingly frustrated Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison turned to an animated film last week to drive home his point that the country needs to reopen -- Covid or no Covid.
"It's like that movie 'The Croods'," he said, referring to the 2013 movie about a prehistoric family forced to leave their home. "People wanted to stay in the cave ... We can't stay in the cave and we can get out of it safely." Since then, debate on the issue has descended into a less than family-friendly slinging match between states over a national plan to open internal borders before Christmas.More Related News
