Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I have written to all premiers and chief ministers. They have all been offered the same set of arrangements that have been provided to Victoria. The Tasmanian government has taken up that offer. I have written back to the premiers of New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia today. They have sought further information on these arrangements, and we are providing that information. I have not yet seen a request from South Australia. Should they make that request, we will respond to that request as well. We have enabled this disaster payment to be made available for those who need to isolate in relation to the pandemic, and that was done following a very good agreement that I was able to reach with the Victorian Premier, and I'm pleased that we can extend that to the other states and territories.
