Quarantine Facilities

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:09): Supplementary.

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: That's how we have got through this pandemic.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: That's not what questions have been asked in committees.

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Bourke, your colleague is on his feet behind you.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON: Has the minister asked for any options or advice on dedicated purpose-built quarantine facilities, or has he asked his health experts to provide that?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:09): The consistent health advice has been that it is important to have facilities close to hospitals that would be capable of dealing with COVID-infected patients.

The Hon. R.P. Wortley: They've shut down Victoria.

The PRESIDENT: Order, the Hon. Mr Wortley!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: I am almost on the verge of asking the Hon. Mr Wortley to withdraw that remark. To suggest that our public health teams should be blamed for an outbreak—the public health teams across this state work diligently, to the best of their ability. Of course there will be transmissions that occur from time to time, but as the report indicated, our teams work diligently and there has been no identified breach.
