I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe! As an Australian (not in MEL), I am pretty satisfied with how we have gone. Internal and external border controls are frustrating, but understandable. Internal borders are finally starting to relax, so I might be able to fly home to see my family for Christmas. Being in a long distance (international) relationship isn't ideal - not only has Australia closed the border to foreigners, but forbids citizens from leaving. Fun times!
We'll all (eventually) get there!
