Is our response smart?
Have to wonder about our Quarantine approach though.
Arrived Monday night on CI from AKL into BNE. Quarantine decided to hold all the pax onboard while they did a 'Coronavirus' check. After 40 minutes they let us off. I asked if that was the new process for ALL arriving flights into Aus now, but was stunned at the response. No, only those that originated in China. There was some strange looks when told that the flight had originated in AKL (no it travelled TPE-AKL-BNE was the response). Sorry folks but the routing was TPE-BNE-AKL, so you actually had the check done earlier in the day. 'No' was the response - 'there might be transiting passengers from China'. Just shook my head at the lack of thought. If that is the level of intelligence response at our airports, then God help us.
