Liberal MP breaks ranks with SA Government to label coronavirus lockdown an 'overreaction'

A country Liberal MP has lashed out at the South Australian Government over its handling of the latest coronavirus outbreak, saying the hard lockdown was an overreaction which 'hung businesses out to dry'. Backbencher Nick McBride, whose electoral district MacKillop includes parts of SA's south-east, said health authorities should not have 'taken the word of one person' to impose a lockdown on the entire state.
