The Minister for the Victorian Department for Jobs, Precincts, and Regions Martin Pakula has shed some light on his role in the creation of Victoria’s hotel quarantine programme.
Appearing before the Victorian parliament’s COVID-19 inquiry on Aug. 12, Pakula revealed that his department was responsible for deciding which private security companies were going to be used in the hotel quarantine system. But he downplayed claims of being involved in any infection control functions.
