   SYDNEY — Detractors call him "Dictator Dan." Supporters declare,   
   on social media, #IStandWithAndrews. To residents of Melbourne,   
   Australia's second-largest city, he is Daniel Andrews, the   
   premier, or governor, of Victoria state and the politician   
   responsible for inflicting upon them some of the most stringent   
   pandemic control measures on Earth.   
      
   The city named repeatedly over recent years as the “ world’s   
   most livable ” has been locked down since July 9. A week ago,   
   Andrews declared that a citywide curfew will not be lifted until   
   Oct. 26 — and then only if the coronavirus is almost eliminated.   
      
   That would leave Melbourne’s 5 million residents confined   
   indoors for 115 days, longer than the 92-day lockdown in Manila,   
   76 days in Wuhan, China, 58 days in Italy and 33 days across New   
   Zealand.   
      
   In Melbourne, public life has essentially come to a halt.   
   Schools are shuttered. Roads are empty. The only shops open are   
   gas stations, supermarkets and drugstores.   
      
   He's a Democrat.
