Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles joins push for Victorian regional quarantine facility
A plan to use Avalon Airport to quarantine international arrivals should be considered by the federal government, deputy Labor leader Richard Marles said. The airport near Geelong is owned by trucking billionaire Lindsay Fox, who is in talks with the commonwealth, and Victorian governments to house up to 1000 returned travellers.
Under the proposal, a temporary town of cabins would be established within walking distance of the arrivals gate, with people allowed to go outside for air.
