In 20 years with the Air Force cadets I spent my fair share of time on a number of RAAF and Army bases around Australia. The suggestion that there are ‘thousands of rooms’ on military facilities in Australia that could be easily converted to accommodation suitable for Covid quarantine is not based in reality.
Well of you may not know but most military people live off base now. "Living out allowance" saw to that. There are literally thousands of empty rooms around Australia at various bases.
What are all our infantry Regiments doing right now? What about artillery and Armour units? We have thousands of full time and thousands of reserve people available.
