$2,200 is pretty paltry... what those residents were put through was pretty awful . It was a tough time for all Melbournians I can't imagine what it was like to be essentially under guard in those towers. .
What they were put through was a lockdown. Same as everyone else, just because theirs ways specific to a building instead of the whole suburb or city is a good thing.
Was your home surrounded by police with no explanation, no warning, and no arrangements for food? It was very much not the same as everyone else.
In other apartment buildings with cases, people were given written notice and expected to self-isolate.
