The national cabinet has asked the AHPPC to develop a consistent approach to hotspot management and to ensure that the needs of border residents are properly catered for. As the Prime Minister said on Friday, there will be a definition of 'hotspot'. Hopefully, it's a definition agreed to by the states and territories. Alternatively, there will be a Commonwealth definition based on science and evidence.
