1. This will create a pool of people where risk of Coronavirus transmission is increased
2. Christmas Island is remote and expensive to get to and from
3. Christmas Island has limited medical facilities, people needing specialist treatment will need to be transferred to the mainland
4. The facility is not designed to operate as quarantine, it is a prison
5. Its contrary to Federal Govt advice: "People who have been in contact with any confirmed novel Coronavirus cases must be isolated in their home for 14 days following exposure"
6. Appropriate quarantine and health facilities are available in the states
So why do they want to do it? To justify the $168 million+ expense of reopening the detention centre when only a family of 4 refugees are wrongfully detained there perhaps?
Also, why does Chris Bowen (Labor) think using Christmas Island for coronavirus quarantine is a good idea?
