NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey wants AUD 105 Million in COVID quarantine fees from Queensland for health services requested by former NSW Police Chief Mick Fuller, but never requested by anyone held in quarantine - Queensland can redirect Mookhey's invoice to NSW Police

    Mick Fuller ordered travellers into quarantine,and then had SLHD charge them for services he                 ordered


The Daily Telegraph reported on 11 February 2024: 

Treasurer Cameron Dick has rejected the latest claim from NSW for more than $100m in allegedly unpaid Covid-19 quarantine expenses.

NSW claims the Sunshine State still owes $105m to cover the costs of its residents undertaking hotel quarantine in Sydney at the start of the pandemic.

However Steven Miles, now Queensland premier, sensationally ripped up the bill in a 2021 social media stunt attacking then prime minister Scott Morrison.

Now, in a letter to Mr Dick, his NSW counterpart Daniel Mookhey has written: “I refer you to previous correspondence from NSW Treasury to Queensland Treasury regarding hotel quarantine fees for Queensland residents during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The people of NSW are owed $105 million by the Queensland government to cover services provided to more than 18,000 residents of Queensland who stayed in NSW hotels.”



However, as previously reported here, the services were never requesed by those held in quarantine but rather by the then Chief Of Police NSW, Mick Fuller. Queensland can direct that invoice to NSW Police.

SLHD CEO Teresa Anderson AM has ultimate responsibility for signing
off SLHD's financial statements


Sydney Local Health District CEO Teresa Anderson charged COVID quarantine detainees for services ordered by then NSW Commissioner Mick Fuller . While her conduct may seem to be a mere extension on Fuller's COVID quarantine gymnastics, Andersen is the person in whose name quarantine fee notices are issued. Andersen seems like the logical person with whom to commence a COVID quarantine fee recovery class action.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
