Much more so than being an island, the fact that most of the eight states and territories instituted domestic border closures was pretty significant and made contact tracing viable.
Even internally within states, there were hard borders for some major cities and regional areas with larger numbers of vulnerable First Nations people.
It was a near run thing, but from what I hear, half the Senior Federal and State Civil Service threatened to resign if the Liberals didn't get with the program. Dictator Dan also did a good job shutting down the Melbourne outbreak hard, though he could have moved faster. Bullying works.
Pretty normal here in Australia for the most part, no fucking idea how that happened
Approppriate use of lockdowns?
They copied China so yes. Plus island
Japan, TERF Island didn't manage to do the same. The tactics counts a lot more imo than geography.

Appropriate use of oceans
Whats going on with the UK then?
Inappropriate use of oceans.
Handing the UK a detention slip that simply says "inappropriate use of oceans"
You all laughed about us boasting about being "Girt by Sea", well who's laughing now?
Yeah you're right, the only reason the US has issues with covid is because Mexicans and Canadians keep crossing the border and spreading it
Or Mexico and Canada are in worse shape covid-wise as a result of their shared border with America
Of course they could have restricted entry and forced all entrants to quarantine but that would be too effective
