The Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called on Queensland to allow home quarantine as the state government deals with a shortage of hotel quarantine rooms and faces criticism over border exemptions for sports stars.

The Queensland government granted border passes to more than 100 NRL players’ family members and league officials while the New South Wales border is closed.
