CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

The one that amazed me was when a farmers’ representative was advocating a few months back that the Victorian Government should allow hundreds (or was it thousands?) of people in from overseas to pick fruit and the like. When the journo noted the government’s position was that only a small number of people could be processed through hotel quarantine and that included returned travellers, he helpfully suggested we could get them to quarantine in other countries so they could be waved through on arrival. I can just imagine if Scotty from Marketing’s National Party mates had rammed that one down our throats, the Fed Govt would be blaming the States for mishandling the influx.
