          <by role="member" id="5244">The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:47):</by>  Supplementary on that: given the rollout has commenced, have there been any instances of hotel quarantine workers refusing to undertake testing? And can the minister confirm that daily saliva testing is now being conducted at all quarantine sites?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:47):</by>  I presume it is being done at the site. The saliva testing could readily be done at hotel sites. Obviously, the nasal tests could be done at the site or at a clinic, but I will certainly seek advice and bring back an answer for the honourable member as to the site in which the tests are taken. The other part of the question was?</text>

I certainly haven't been advised of that and I certainly would not expect that that person would be allowed to continue to stay on the site if they are not willing to submit to the testing regime in place.</text>
