Not sure that I would agree. The person behind the desk or delivering the room service in some foreign hotel coughs on an Australian based crew member and a foreign based crew member (that has commuted in to operate their flight and hence happens to be in the hotel) and then they both hop in their respective rides and fly to Australia... they both present the same risk to the engineers, ground staff and eventually their respective families. I can think of more interesting scenarious but they are specific to certain airlines so I wont go into that...
