Quarantine is not 99.9% effective. 21,000 cases (70% of total cases) since border closure on 20 March '20 are directly & indirectly due to quarantine breaches & exemptions. Purpose-built quarantine facilities with rapid antigen testing on arrival & day-14 are required.

This is disinformation. HQ isn't perfect but it's also not an abject failure. Framing HQ like this really just abuses the frontline health/HQ workers who work 24/7 to make HQ the well run system it is. It's also high risk work. I am in gratitude to them.

It is 99.9% effective if your failed statistics. If you passed statistics you would calculate something less. If you were into costing each failure, you would build fit for purpose quarantine facilities and save yourself a shit-tonne of cash

How those people are getting positive in quarantine hotels in Australia, when the requirement to board the flight is to test negative? (72 hours prior and 8 hours prior in case of INDIA) @ScottMorrisonMP @DanielAndrewsMP @jkalbrechtsen @AlboMP @7NewsAustralia @9NewsAUS

And the damage it has economically and psychologically is not worth the 0.01%.
