ANALYSIS: On the eve of National Cabinet, where has all the unity gone?
WA went its own way on border closure — but will it happen again?
Queensland has agreed in-principal to increasing its intake of returning Australians into its quarantine system, but Health Minister Steven Miles told reporters he wanted the Federal Government to take more responsibility for the cost and management of hotel quarantine. But he does not want those arrivals sent into the state-managed hotel quarantine system, which he said was at capacity and could lead to a coronavirus outbreak if put under more pressure.
But it's clear the bus may have already left the station when it comes to taking on the extra arrivals, regardless of WA's hesitation.
