The blame game over Wellcamp quarantine hub proposal continues

  • Rod Stephen is a former television journalist and has worked as Foreign Editor for the Seven Network, Australian Bureau Chief for TV3 New Zealand, UK correspondent for Seven and ABC radio and as a producer for Reuters TV in London as well as SBS in Sydney and Melbourne before returning to Brisbane to work at 4BC.

The Premier has hit back at claims the Wellcamp Airport quarantine proposal handed to the Federal Government was mostly pictures and maps.

The Prime Minister argues the 15 page document contained no information about how much the facility would cost to build.

Annastacia Palaszczuk has described Scott Morrison’s comment as ridiculous, adding she doesn’t want to get into a slanging match.

“We were able to make an agreement with the Federal Government on the Olympics. This is a no-brainer. I don’t understand why the Federal Government won’t sit down and be constructive with this because the department’s are working so cooperatively together because they know that this is a good project”.
