Obvious question. What didn’t he report lack of safety to his supervisor? Why didn’t he go right up to the top of DHSS? Why not contact the minister? Contact the Premier? Disgraceful but common, people turn a blind eye because they think of themselves, not about other Victorians.

NSW should not have to 'bear the brunt of hotel quarantine' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says the states and territories need to 'share the burden' of hotel quarantine for returned travellers.\n\nMr Bragg said hotel quarantine in NSW was at a bit of a “choke point” with approximately 350 people held in mandatory isolation each day.\n\n“One of the most successful components of our strategy to beat the coronavirus has been closing international borders,” the Senator acknowledged.\n\n“We do need to see the states providing more capacity on hotel quarantine so we can have higher entrance into Australia”.\n\nHis comments responded to a push to open international borders and allow Australians to travel overseas at their own risk with hotel quarantine upon return.\n\nIn contrast, Labor MP Anika Wells said, “we’ve always got to balance … public health and safety with the best of the medical advice and the best industry advice.”\n\n“If Qantas is working on the basis that international borders won’t open until mid-next year, then that’s what we should be focusing on,' she said.\n\nImage: AP ajamesbragg Like sharing cruise ship passengers by air?

'Unreasonable demands': Health staff ignored suicide threat in hotel quarantine, inquiry toldHealth officials lost track of returned travellers staying in Melbourne's hotel quarantine scheme and threats of suicide were dismissed, according to a nurse giving evidence at an inquiry into the botched program. I'm sick of the people in this story harping on about mask usage. If people recall, the unnamed nurse was shown a training document from the Australian government which clearly showed masks won't stop the spread of the virus. Get off the hind-sight bandwagon. They didn't know.
