The Victorian government has opened its $200 million quarantine camp at Mickleham in Melbourne's north.
The government is claiming it will be used to replace hotels and become Victoria's only quarantine site from April.
Either the quarantine camps are a waste of money or there is a darker motive.
In some parts of Australia, especially the Northern Territory and Queensland, if the government determines from its heavy surveillance that someone has been in close contact with another who has tested positive for Covid, they can be forced into a quarantine camp.
Hayley Hodgson, who was incarcerated in a Northern Territory camp despite showing no symptoms, explains.
There are the predictable blandishments from the Victorian government bureaucracy about the "The new hub [having] dedicated onsite services, including catering that is tailored to be delivered alongside strong infection control and prevention measures".
Whatever the government says, including about quarantine camps, should never be trusted.
