My question is to the Prime Minister. Nearly two years after COVID reached Australian shores, how many new federal quarantine facilities have opened?

The Leader of the Opposition would be aware of the Centre for National Resilience at Howard Springs, which has a capacity of 2,000 people. That was indeed the facility that the most recent facilitated flights, where we've been running those flights to bring Australians home from around the world—those flights that, more recently, over the last few weeks have come in from South Africa. There were the flights that went there. The one case of omicron that has come up has been identified there. They're in quarantine at that federally supported and funded facility.
