A 500 bed quarantine facility to be built at a cost of $200mill.That's $400,000 per. bed.
The cost is steep and it doesn't stop there. Once ensconced the ongoing costs build up. Culturally appropriate meals prepared in accordance with a person's requirements must be made available. A 'safe' place for a person to practice their religion. Interpreter services. A person drawn from the community to manage the fragility of minority groups in quarantine. Direct access to the ABC to enable those in quarantine to complain about how awful we Australians are and how they feel that racism is at play. The costs just keep on mounting.
