Скачать или смотреть Victoria should 'copy Gladys' homework' on running a hotel quarantine program

Victoria Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien says the state government should go to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian for “lessons” on how to run a hotel quarantine program.

“I keep saying the state government here in Victoria should be going to Gladys and getting lessons, copying her homework because she’s done it well,” he told Sky News.

“I understand the government doesn’t back itself and that’s why its building a hotel quarantine facility outside Melbourne.”

Mr O’Brien said the state government’s proposal that the federal government pay for a purpose-built quarantine facility outside Melbourne is “not the way that mature governments should go about negotiating with each other”.

“You have to ask ‘where’s the skin in the game for the Victorian state government?’

He said he believed the facility should be established via a partnership between the state and federal governments because “these people coming home, yes, they’re Victorians, they’re also Australians.”
