Question Without Notice No. 66 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 11 May 2021 by Dr D.J. Honey

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — HOTEL QUARANTINE

66. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Premier:

(1) Is the Premier aware that a security guard involved in hotel quarantine has been stood down and another is under investigation for noncompliance with the secondary employment rule?

(2) Which hotel were these guards working at and what are the jobs that these workers had?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

(1)–(2) I am unaware of any incident of that nature, but I do know that we brought in a range of changes, indeed contractual arrangements, to ensure that people working in hotel quarantine in those areas were required not to have another job in order to protect the public. If someone has been stood down for breaching those rules, that would be in accordance with the requirements that we brought in.
