A 68-year-old Melbourne immigration detainee with underlying health issues is set to be forcibly moved to Western Australia after losing a court fight over COVID-19 fears.

, over fears he'll catch COVID-19 on the plane.

He has medical conditions including diabetes and wants to return to his Australian citizen son's home in suburban Melbourne. Justice Bernard Murphy sided with the federal government's arguments the man was much safer in Western Australian than Victoria and unlikely to catch the virus en route. Mr Horan compared the case with a quote popularised by author Mark Twain:"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics".

"It's theoretically open for the minister to reduce the risk to the applicant by saying 'here's a truck, hop in, we'll drive for three days straight, you'll see nobody and you'll end up in Perth'," he told the court.

More than 90 per cent of Victoria's COVID-19 cases linked to family of four, inquiry hearsA family of four returned travellers sparked the coronavirus outbreak at Melbourne&x27;s Rydges hotel, the hotel quarantine inquiry has heard. I hope they've been told just how much heartbreak and suffering they have caused, and I hope they aren't some of the people continuing to flout the rules. Questions: Which country did they arrive from? Where were they for the 6 days before being moved to Rydges? And what exactly does ‘environmental contamination’ mean? Pushing the PMs agenda ! why is there a video about the Oxford invisible vaccine instead of a report about the headline of this piece, the family of four? So blantant who’s pocket ch 9 is in.
