So by your way of thinking he should have personally made sure the 3400 stupids were at home?

The decision to choose security guards was made by a Government Department that was tasked with finding a solution to the quarantine mandate set down by the executive branch of Government. They made the same decision that three other States made which was to use readily available security personnel and a number of companies that provide security personnel were engaged to provide staffing under contract - and any cash payments made were done by them not that it makes any difference. Yes, with the benefit of hindsight they may not have been the best choice and they certainly should have been provided with better training (although the guidelines they were supposed to have followed included the provision of staff training) but they weren't and we got what we got.

It's extremely sad when people can't be trusted to do the right thing and isolate as requested/ordered. I thought guards were only necessary for prisons... |

Melb is about to go into prison mode.
Let's play H A R D ! as Tom Gleeson would say. Chairman Dan - (Tobin Bros. called; they want their gaunt-shouldered undertaker back) will deliver along with his usual "white noise" a different message tomorrow - Sun. | Lock-down and toss the key | roKWiz, Polyal : I totally agree. Authorities in Aust - gifted with the biggest moat on the planet - have blown it. The only true quarantine is - 40 days min with geographical separation. As in Point Nepean Quarantine Station, Mornington Peninsular Vic. - which had ideal facilities , functioned very well for over 100 yrs of operation, then the govt let it go into disrepair in the 1950's. Never replacing it, they now hoax us with pseudo hotel "quarantine" ! The fattest lie so far. Back in FEB Wuhan flights were re-directed to proper quarantine in the 3,500 room new-ish worker's village at Howard Springs, 20 min from Darwin airport. Tick. Who was the genius that suggested "Oh, we can do it using hotels right in the heart of major cities" pfffft.. Andrews is so good at putting blame onto us dumb plebs, remonstrating like an angry primary school teacher, it sets up a culture where a minority will inevitably rebel. His answer to that is FINE them - what good is a fine after the damage is done. Australians respond better to carrots than sticks. Meanwhile we still, are yet to prepare a proper quarantine facility in Vic. Perth used Rottnest Island - tick. Even if we achieve elimination, every major international gateway will need access to a proper, genuine, geographically separate, quarantine station. anhoos I'm off to Bunnings 1st thing - in case they ban that as well. |
