Proposed for-profit quarantine facility next to Toowoomba airport concerns health experts

Infectious diseases physician Peter Collignon says I don't think this is the sort of thing that should be privatised'

The Wagner Corporation proposal to build a for-profit quarantine facility next to its international airport in Toowoomba has prompted some anxiety among health experts and local clinicians, who fear the region is not equipped to deal with a major Covid-19 outbreak.

The property developer has proposed building a quarantine facility five minutes from its Wellcamp airport, as a way of easing the considerable strain on the national quarantine system.
