Qld working with Commonwealth to set up dedicated quarantine 'as quickly as possible'

Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles says the state is working with the Commonwealth to set up a dedicated quarantine facility at Pinkenba "as quickly as possible”.

“We have agreed with them detailed specs of what that facility should look like and a scope of work to do the feasibility and planning work,” he said.

"AECOM have been appointed as the lead consultants to develop that plan.

“We have proposed it would be 1,000 rooms which would allow for 1,450 people at a maximum that we could see 800 people per fortnight arrive in the first stages ... which would allow roughly two ... Australian Government repatriation flights a week to bring home those stranded Aussies.

“I understand the officers from the Commonwealth and state government are meeting again at 11 today.

“There is a lot of work to be done but we will work with them as quickly as possible.

"In the meantime, I'd just underline that we have a detailed plan available for Wellcamp and we'd like to see progress on both facilities."

Calling a Prison Facility a Quarantine Camp....what could go wrong ???

[kerrynmountain]

Seriously?? these people need to be locked up! crimes against humanity

[shanekarlsen]

No one wants it because it's dangerous, unfortunately people aren't aware of the long term consequences, which will be devastating for some.

[paulburns]

How many are getting back kick back and corruption for this little project?

[shanekarlsen]

The body was never designed to be experimented on.

[chairmandan]

Lock up Powerchook and Boy Wonder in this prison!

[grizerbear]

The ccp plan is strong with this one .

[MandoMTL]

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone, and quite cognisant that my awareness of such will be used to corrall me.

Eventually these quarantine facilities will be for all those that have had the jab and are turning into zombies

[kreshokresimir]

It will be called "The Camp of Palacewitz"

"The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States." Now, which countries are taking the hardest stance on lock downs? Coincidence?

[pholarised]

Bruh, just send them to the homes? You want to waste money you don't have

[peterdyste]

I heard the Foxtrot strain is a real doozy.

[petergregory]

Quarantine Gulag sounds ideal for all these Jackboots comes the Reckoning.

[MaddoggLegges]

Very robotic sounding this bloke, maybe he should take up ASMR on twitc instead of being in a position of power playing with peoples lives.

[muzzleflash]

When will the "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo Yankee Oscar Uniform" strain/variant be upon us?

Or is it already upon us?

[KIA-MIA-POW]

One would honestly think that for a man on a deputy premiers salary he could afford good quality, well fitting clothes and know how to wear them

[robertheckenberg]

I am glad a developer is helping us out, try to buy a home 💩💩💩💩

[johnwoodrow]

What a gigantic waste of public money. How long before any facility is managed by government (let alone both federal and state governments) will be up and fully functional? You'll be lucky to see it before the end on 2022. Is their plan Australia is still having strict isolation for people coming into Australia after that time to justify the outlay? What would that be, 3 or 4 years from now.
But I suppose what's another couple Billion dollars flushed down the toilet.
