A purpose-built COVID-19 quarantine facility could be operating in Brisbane early next year after a feasibility study found a Defence site in Brisbane's east to be suitable.The Queensland government has been pushing the Commonwealth to commit to building a dedicated quarantine facilityThe site is next to Brisbane international airport and has a number of major hospitals in close proximity

The development at the site would be funded by the Commonwealth and run by the Queensland government, which had been working with the federal government on planning for the facility. "It will also help enhance our medium and long-term capability to respond to future pandemics or natural disasters," he said.

I knew it was a defense site as soon as I sighted it. When did they put infection proof walls on army barracks?

Build it NOW°

There is a massive base in Exmouth Wa vacated by the yanks that could be converted cheaply and quickly. There are airports in Karratha and Port Hedland that are close to ex mining camps that could be converted and utilised.

Now we have a prison state in NSW, it's not a big deal to have militarized detention camps for our citizens.

Won’t be too late the virus is for a lot longer than 18 months, even if we are 90& vaccinated.

It even IS a box

Thinking forward to Olympics in Brisbane 2032, they going to need lots of accommodation and who know where the world will be post pandemic. Build it!

Close to the airport, hospitals, fed government land......how on earth did the federal government not think about using this last year! GregHuntMP PeterDutton_MP murpharoo InsidersABC annikasmethurst

Yeah! Ticks all the boxes until there's a leak.

Only 18 months too late, operation backflip is in full full swing for the Liberals, Morrison has to be joking if he thinks we won’t forget his total balls up of Quarantine and the Vaccination rollout

Concentration Camps disguised as 'quarantine facilities' .....Hitler would have been so proud.
