He said criteria for finding security companies included a proven track record working with the government, being able to provide their own personal protective equipment because of Victoria’s shortage at that time and being able to scale up significantly. The secretary of Victoria’s jobs department told the hotel quarantine inquiry that while he was told to find private security companies, he does not know who made the decision to use private security in hotels.

The next morning, on March 28, Mr Phemister said it became clear the role of lead agency was going to be shifted away from his department. "We would like to see testing levels above 20,000 as achieved last week," NSW Health's Dr Jeremy McAnulty said.The last time NSW recorded no local coronavirus cases was on July 3, when no cases at all were recorded. Ominously, this was also the date a Victorian man visited Casula's Crossroads Hotel, sparking NSW's second wave.

Asked if that meant businesses would only get a day's notice, he said the government was in "deep conversations and ongoing conversations" with industry representatives. Mr Andrews was asked: "Given we have a long way to go in this pandemic and there's a lot of critical decisions made on a daily basis ... have you made recommendations to the public service and to the people making these decisions to do better when it comes to record keeping?"

Minutes taken at the meeting show conversations between Chris Eccles, Victoria’s top public servant as secretary of the Premier’s department, and then police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton. Simon Phemister, secretary of the jobs department who is giving evidence to the inquiry, said one of his priorities was considering how the hotels program could feed into the Working for Victoria initiative, where the state government employed recently retrenched workers.

They don't seem to understand the whole point of Quarantine! When you Quarantine somebody you don't let them out until they no longer infectious!!! that is the whole point! Just locking them up for 14 days and letting them go achieves NOTHING unless you isolate the infected.

Australia State border closure must be passed in parliament with 2/3rd majority only. - Sign the Petition! via ChangeAUS
