My question is to the Prime Minister. On the day that Queensland's hotel quarantine system reaches capacity, the Morrison government asked the parliament to agree to the construction of dedicated quarantine facilities in Queensland and Western Australia. Why has it taken a lockdown affecting half of the Australian population, at least 27 breaches in hotel quarantine and a system at breaking point for the Prime Minister to accept fit-for-purpose quarantine facilities have been needed all along?
