A returned RAAF officer in hotel quarantine reportedly became acquainted with a 53-year-old woman through the hotel windows before security discovered her leaving the 26-year-old’s room at 12:45am on Wednesday morning. Both parties were issued with a $1000 fine, while the woman was told to check out of the hotel and present herself for testing before going to self-isolate in her Hornsby home.
NSW recorded seven new cases overnight including three returned travellers in hotel quarantine, one returned traveller from Melbourne in quarantine, one linked to the Concord Hospital and another to a health worker at Liverpool Hospital. Only one mystery case was reported. Health authorities pleaded with state residents to continue getting tested, particularly in Western and south-Western Sydney, following a concerning drop in testing numbers.

It’s clear Daniel Andrews will not be ‘taking the fall’ for hotel quarantine | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says it has now become abundantly clear who will be the fall person for Melbourne’s hotel quarantine debacle and “it’s not going to be Daniel Andrews”.\n\nMr Murray said despite Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ consistent claims that he will be held “ultimately responsible,” it’s now obvious the Victorian Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp will instead be held to account for the bungle.\n\nAll other states in the country used either police or the Australian Defence Force – or in some cases both – to guard their hotel quarantine facilities.\n\nHowever, Victoria opted to instead employ a private security company for the job, a move widely considered to be a major factor in the virus escaping the facilities causing the city’s second wave.\n\nIt has emerged from the COVID-19 Hotel Quarantine Inquiry that Mr Crisp was the one who made the final decision regarding the use of a security firm.\n\n“So he (Daniel Andrews) could have overruled anyone who made any decision anywhere to make sure hotel quarantine worked, but because there was some very good money for some very well-connected security firms, well ‘we don’t want to get in the way’,” Mr Murray said.\n\n“The emergency management commissioner could never be overruled, but the chief medical officer could be overruled, the police commissioner could be overruled.”\n\nImage: Getty DanielAndrewsMP Can we add NSW Ruby Princess debacle to that?
