Purpose-built quarantine costs a fraction of economic cost of lockdowns from hotel quarantine breaches. Lockdown costs $1Billion/week for NSW or Vic. Cost 3000 bed quarantine facility range $500-700Million. 4 week Vic lockdown=17-24K beds in purpose-built quarantine facilities

For those interested in the economic logic of purpose-built quarantine facilities, please take note. Professor McLaws makes sense to me, but then I’m not a politician.🤔

The federal government can't be bothered to act. Just like they couldn't be bothered to vaccinate staff in aged care or make sure that they aren't working across multiple facilities. Instead Vic gov is doing the hard yards and paying the price of Fed gov incompetence.

Wouldn’t cost $600m which is what they want to spend on a gas plant! #quarantine #auspol

I think Morrison is betting on the pandemic to be over and people to blame the states for lock downs. The thing is, there will be more pandemics.. just build it FFS

"Over 400,000 people have quarantined at home in Taiwan using mobile phone tracking. Those in home-quarantine receive regular compliance calls and texts. Their phones must be kept on at all times. The compliance rate is 99.7%. " strandedaussies.com/get-info…
