It would probably be quicker and more efficient for the private sector to set it up temporary remote quarantine. I guess the reason some were suggesting RAAF bare bases is they have the infrastructure to accomodate direct long haul flights but are almost unoccupied, there’s a lot of mining camps that could perform the same function but they’re quite busy at the moment and
requisitioning one for quarantine would cause a lot of disruption to the industry.
