          <by role="member" id="5413">The Hon. E.S. BOURKE:</by>  Alarming SAPOL figures provided to a parliamentary committee last year revealed that private security guards working in hotel quarantine had breached protocol on 99 separate occasions, including 23 instances of falling asleep while on the job. These 99 breaches occurred between the establishment of the quarantine system until 27 November last year. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20210202e182902ae7594600b0000282">1.&amp;#x9;How many further breaches of protocol have occurred since 27 November and for what reasons?</text>
        <text id="20210202e182902ae7594600b0000283">2.&amp;#x9;How many of these breaches result in a suspension or a termination of employment?</text>
