BUTLER (—) (): My question is to the Prime Minister. In her national review of quarantine published this month, the Prime Minister's handpicked quarantine adviser, Jane Halton, told him:

Some quarantine settings, such as quarantine in a purpose-built facility, are better able to mitigate transmission risks, especially for high-risk travellers and in respect of variants of concern.

She said, further:

Why has the Prime Minister failed to establish a single purpose-built quarantine facility?
