One of the problems is it is being said the authorities won't accept a caravan as an isolation address right now and want people to rent apartments or houses. That seems dumb to me.
One of the families in a van pictured has been on the road for 18 months, the husband has a full-time online job with an insurance company and this is their home, they have no other address.
Whats the point of forcing them into a residential building? They can book into a national park for $50 a week here and be very isolated.
As the PM said, lets use our commonsense.
