Victoria’s state opposition is calling for an investigation into why a private security company, which was involved in Victoria’s bungled hotel quarantine scheme, was granted a licence extension by the state.

The move comes just weeks after NSW Police revoked the master licence of Unified Security Group due to “undeclared changes in ownership”—effectively axing up to a third of NSW quarantine hotels. However, an interim stay until April 26 was granted to the company earlier this month by the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
