The head of the doctors' union in Western Australia has slammed state and federal governments for persisting with"faulty" hotel quarantine.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton has pushed back against the idea, saying such facilities are not fit for purpose. "Many of the people who are COVID positive are people who left Australia recently and went to COVID-laden countries, I'm just not copping that," he said. There were no new locally acquired cases reported in WA on Sunday, but two new infections were recorded among returned travellers in quarantine.Mr McGowan expects to give further details on Monday about the lifting of his state's lockdown, which is due to end at midnight.

Sweet nothing but blame the feds. Change the record , you won the election by LOTS! Time to do something other than rely on China ( iron ore) and blaming everyone else.

Hotel quarantine worker in WA tests positive for COVID-19No, the irresponsible Federal Government will not set up safe quarantine sites (even though it's their responsibility) as long as they can continue blaming State's for lockdowns. Jesus, not again. Where are the properly fitted quarantine centres? WHERE IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Stay safe. This will help and hopefully the vaccine rollout steered by MarkMcGowanMP will help alleviate and reduce community transmissions.
