And most importantly of all, why is it that Australia are still seeing an average on about 10 new cases per day when New Zealand sees zero? Their curve has a sting in the tail and only time will tell whose response was better overall.

It will be a big deal if it persists. If we maintain zero new cases and their outbreak continues to smoulder away, we will be able to unlock more completely, earlier. Like I said, time will tell, but both countries are doing very well compared to most similar countries.
the fact the FBU is laying off 1000 NZers speaks as to the cost of the lockdown.
Like Balance I reckon that cost could have been avoided, but no one knows for sure and contrary to previous poster I dont think time will tell conclusively.
