‘We have to work with the reality’: Uniform approach to quarantine, border restrictions unlikely, experts say

Dr Khorshid said the AMA had spent months calling for a uniform approach from states and territories to quarantine, border arrangements and responses to outbreaks but the reality was governments might always take different approaches.

“It’s probably not going to happen and the states retain complete control over how they run their own state,” he said. “So rather than continuing to beat that drum I think we have to work with the reality of the situation and just encourage each state to do the right thing.

Queensland’s Deputy Premier, Stephen Miles, said it was a shame it had taken this long for the federal government to come to the table with a proposal for a Queensland facility at Damascus Barracks in Pinkenba, near Brisbane Airport, and the state government still wanted its Toowoomba Wellcamp proposal to be considered.

So why are we building prison camps 🤔

The states had the opportunity to hand over all health care to the federal government and they wanted to keep it many years ago

All the states have played politics with this and now it’s just too late

estimated $200million+ for “quarantine facilities” with taxpayers money is the solution? We have had 1.5yrs to assess and learn from others. In this time you’d think we would be pioneering vaccines, therapeutic treatments and even leading manufacturing/exports such as PPE

Disgraceful self interest helps no one . If Premiers can’t work together for the good of all Australians they should all resign .

The first step would be to get the wanna be shadow PM Mark Butler out of the picture. Labor needs a positive voice to lead us out of the pandemic in Aus.

Hahahaha backtracking now You know ur all caught!!! Your lies will be revealed soon :)

Gladys are Scotty keep playing politics with the pandemic so no chance

A new study has found Indigenous Australians who experience racism develop poor healthResearchers say racism was linked to pain, poor life satisfaction, psychological distress, anxiety, depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Wow, the SBS really has no interest in focussing on obvious setbacks to closing the gap: alcoholism, domestic and sexual abuse, school retention rates, addictions, regionality. No, it’s ultimately racism. Hopeless. What is the actual point of all this? I don't mean it in a nasty way, just don't quite understand what you hope to achieve. How does this help the situation improve rather than help maintain the situation? Yeah man someone called me a ni🅱️🅱️a and now I've got the sniffles
