They’re much higher risk of contracting Covid than Aussie crew over nighting and returning from SIN, PVG, NRT and HKG!

What about the nurses working at Covid clinics? Overseas and in Victoria the health workers were decimated by Covid. They return home each night. They don’t even have to isolate after their shift or on their days off but continue out into the community at will.

You position holds no logic. It doesn’t consider the ‘risk’ that crew are facing when going overseas (or how we mitigate that risk) when compared to foreign crew who reside there, and it doesn’t take into account the precautions we are taking in our own homes when in isolation. It appears your position comes from ignorance.
It is not a normal hotel stay - quarantine persons should have zero contact with others.

They do not bring the food in your room and ask if they can do anything else for you - it is left at the door.

You remain in your room.

It is not a holiday with a gym and bar.

If you are getting different treatment than isolation, then that should be reported.
