"Just reiterating that the message we have been sending out, the whole period of this pandemic, is we do our absolute best in hotel quarantine. Strict IPC controls, PPE, testing of staff, the ventilation assessment. We're the only jurisdiction to do that ventilation assessment and make all those changes within our hotel system.
We are making it as risk-free as humanely possible, but it has never ever been a zero risk environment. That is not the nature of hotels. Hotels are built for tourists. They're not built to tackle infectious disease.
We do the very, very best we can and appropriately, made the decision — way back in the first quarter of last year, when we didn't have a national purpose-built system to deal with returning travellers — states and territories and the Commonwealth made the appropriate decision to have hotel quarantine.
But what we absolutely need, and we needed it a year ago, are purpose-built facilities for our highest risk individuals."
