Im not planning anything. But I reckon for the pocket change from $4.5 billion it wouldn’t be rocket science to build some magnificent quarantine facilities.

3000 per week - 30,000 people = 10 weeks

Try building anything in under 12 months, get it certified and approved for occupancy….

C’mon mate! You’re blinded by your own bias.

This was interesting- not the sole reason but a major one! People being reasonable was possibly the most important part- Well Done Vic- that's really Gold Standard

"World-leading research has revealed the mandating of masks during Melbourne’s deadly second wave turned the pandemic “almost overnight”.The study from the Burnet Institute and published in the journal PLOS ONE found that masks were the single most important control measure and “turned the epidemic around”.
Co-lead author Nick Scott said the introduction of mandatory mask use by the Victorian government on July 22 last year while stage 3 restrictions were in place turned an exponential increase in community transmission into an exponential decrease “almost overnight”."

Mask wearing has a big part to play to get through the vac issues.

Again........... is it really so hard to wear one?

The masks should have instructions on how to wear them, for the morons. Round these parts, abot 85% wear them correctly, 10% cover only the mouth and the remainder cover the chin.

You can’t cure stupid, and stupid people don’t read instructions, even if they can read.

C’mon mate! You’re blinded by your own bias.

I’m pro-quarantine facilities being built, pro Australia as part of the world, anti-gilded cage exclusivity. If that’s being blinded by my bias I’m happy with that. The alternative is very small minded.

Anyone who isn’t pro-quarantine facilities is part of the problem. Can’t do, is not a leadership position. It’s exclusive not inclusive. We need vision, not too hard basket apologists.

If priorities for spending $4.5 billion in public money were redirected away from private share holders, towards the public good, we could have a number of new facilities already built. Australians could have been coming home 6 months ago if we had some decent leadership in this country.

There are a number of state proposals on the table currently being blocked by fed gov.

Queensland pushes Wellcamp COVID-19 quarantine facility as work continues on Pinkenba site - ABC News

There are also numerous sites across the country that could be repurposed.

This pandemic will not be over by next year. Australia is potentially going to need massive quarantine facilities for years to come, otherwise we will become even more globally provincial than we already are. The perpetual global circulation of covid variants has a long way to run yet. The gilded cage mentality is a neo-colonial fantasy.

Agreed, it’s pathetic. How does anyone think a mask just covering their mouth is protecting them from breathing the virus in??
