Travellers who have been forced to quarantine in hotels across Sydney for 14 days have complained about deteriorating conditions, as the government moves to tighten hotel budgets | sarah_keoghan

Travellers who have been forced to quarantine in hotels across Sydney for 14 days have complained about deteriorating conditions, as the government moves to tighten hotel budgets.

Coogee resident Steven Christie, 22, who has recently returned from Los Angeles, said guests are now only allocated three small meals a day and are unable to purchase snacks or drinks. Over at the InterContinental, 22-year-old Laura Buttler was allowed a care package after a senior constable noticed how much distress she was in.

Late on Tuesday, Ibis guests were informed they would soon be able to arrange deliveries from Woolworths and Coles. "The lack of communication is horrible, we don't even get a choice here, you get what you are given," Ms Buttler said. "I had previously called downstairs to see if they could heat it [dinner] up a little bit more. And they said, 'Oh, we can't, just eat it' ... I said to them, 'You're going to get more food poisoning cases here rather than COVID-19'.

sarah_keoghan Ohhh fck them! If they don't like it..send them to Siberia!

sarah_keoghan Oh shut the heck up already.

sarah_keoghan C'mon! Really?! Think of the homeless, the poor and jobless in this country and those in 3rd world conditions! Selfish entitled whingers!

sarah_keoghan Should've sent them to manus or Christmas island

sarah_keoghan

sarah_keoghan Hotel is like a ship. Enjoy the extra time to do nothing and relax

sarah_keoghan Perhaps they should try where they sent Chinese Australians on their return?

sarah_keoghan Don’t worry Our Prime Minister is praying for you all will be well soon .

sarah_keoghan Bushfire victims still living in tents and caravans would probably be more appreciative.

sarah_keoghan

sarah_keoghan Those meals look fine, send them ration packs

sarah_keoghan OMG, people! Seriously? Only 14 days. Just go through it. Stop complaining!

sarah_keoghan oh those poor self entitled millennials. Before this pandemic the only disaster they faced was flat battery on their Samsung and no power point in sight.

sarah_keoghan Do these clowns think we give a shit! Should have come home alot earlier than stay on your holidays or whatever. Suck it up!!!!

sarah_keoghan You only need to look at the way our governments treat refugees to understand that is exactly how they would treat their own citizens if they could get away with it. auspol

sarah_keoghan So, let the 'occupants' buy (with their money) take aways from local restaurants.

sarah_keoghan There’s always Christmas Island.

sarah_keoghan It’s actually pretty shit but what are ya gonna do? Foods not the best. Sucks no windows. Kind of a shoebox. Some people are just working stiffs caught up in this nonsense not rich travellers.Most people are just dealing with it. But no stories about them. Only the sooks

sarah_keoghan 5 stars hotels wine wine service they r still whingeing Ungrateful sods

sarah_keoghan I think it's time they placed all the whinghers in tents in the outback! Why snaks? No-one needs snaks to live a healthy life. Three meals a day is plenty!

sarah_keoghan Tough!! It’s free!! Get on with it

sarah_keoghan Yeah well, they are the sort of people who go on all inclusive cruises... missing the endless buffets and booze? Poor dears 😂

sarah_keoghan R u fking kidding ?!?!?

sarah_keoghan Wow wait until they get back out in the world and see how bare supermarket shelves are they probably will blame the government for that too

sarah_keoghan These people should just pack their bags and walk out of these disgusting hotels, what are the Police going to do? They have committed no crime, and should have their liberty. Go now and reclaim your freedom.

sarah_keoghan I am also eating the muscle chef, the so called microwave food. it’s quite healthy, yum, and I paid myself.

sarah_keoghan Empty out a nursing home and they can eat their rations and put nursing home patients in the hotels

sarah_keoghan What are you complaining for you bunch of morons. Think about people in refugee camp. They don't have running water.

sarah_keoghan Let's hope this quarantine will turn them to grateful humans again at the end of the day.

sarah_keoghan None of these people would be suitable candidates to be on the first manned mission to Mars...

sarah_keoghan I guess these people do not know the term “difficult time”?

sarah_keoghan Sit back and think about Julian Assange, this might give your 14 days a bit of perspective.

sarah_keoghan I think three meals per day is sufficient, considering the circumstances. I mean, there are a lot of people struggling to buy food at the moment. Although, they should be able to purchase their own food and have it delivered. It suggests they can't but doesn't really explain why?

sarah_keoghan Miss your cocktails by the pool I feel your pain

sarah_keoghan Charge them

sarah_keoghan Age Care Cent savers Feed old & through no fault of Quests Service with odd mistreatment or slap. some are fed for under $6 per day Homeless scrounge from Bin chicken's leftovers Unemployed before Ist March paid lodging, food, insurance, clothing With harsh abuse $40 daily

sarah_keoghan Wow, this people are so delusional. Stay in top quality hotels with food supplied and then have the audacity to complain. Perhaps some of them should have used their brains and got home some months earlier.

sarah_keoghan We work and earned money we have no snacks. You are kept in a hotel to prevent killing other people or your families. You will be charged of murder if you will kill people. So shut up and do not complain😡

sarah_keoghan Millennial meltdown at living in a hotel for two weeks with catered meals

sarah_keoghan 5 star hotel rooms not good enough? So sad.

sarah_keoghan What about those that were on Christmas Island? These ppl are in 3-5 star hotels for Pete’s sake

sarah_keoghan If their getting three meals a day “ the don’t need snacks what is wrong with these people it’s isolation for two weeks not 2 years get a grip !🙃

sarah_keoghan stop giving air time to these losers. Their

sarah_keoghan These COVIDIOT's are not going to get any sympathy, so stop reporting on it and giving them attention. It's not like they are in quarantine for life, it's 14 days!

sarah_keoghan Some can’t even get three meals a day because of idiots panic buying and no shelter to live under ffs. This entitlement echoing through these pricks is so inconceivable.

sarah_keoghan imagine being homeless...

sarah_keoghan Should have come home when first advised

sarah_keoghan Oh Boohoo

ashermoses sarah_keoghan Fancy expecting a good result from nswpolice practicing empathy. If you want a good result you go to hospitality people not bureaucrats who have no comprehension of people.

sarah_keoghan Can We Stop With The Whinger Stories

sarah_keoghan I understand the need for the quarantine, but I'm surprised that people aren't more concerned that citizens have been detained by the government, with little or no control over their circumstances, and the High Court isn't sitting and won't sit until June. Very Dutton-esque.

sarah_keoghan Well bad fkn luck to you lot sit there and shut the fk up

sarah_keoghan No snacks .... oh the humanity !

sarah_keoghan Real news or click bate?

sarah_keoghan its for 2 weeks ....FFS ...suck it up & get over it

sarah_keoghan Do these people think the general public are going to sympathize with them? Should have come home a month ago if you didn't want to be quarantined in a hotel for free.

sarah_keoghan They should be allowed to buy their own food via deliveries

sarah_keoghan Still eating 3 meals per day, better than those on one under this govt

sarah_keoghan you're still allowed to order take away foods so do that if the food isn't great.

sarah_keoghan This is a media troll, the gullible numpties will keep falling in though.

sarah_keoghan So why didn't they bloody well just go home when they had a chance? They should be grateful they aren't stuck in some Asian shithole with one meal of rice a day and only rats for company!

sarah_keoghan if they buy booze and run out of food I could care less
