Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has dismissed the Morrison Government’s announced Agricultural Visa, which is uncapped and due to come into effect on 30 September, as a “fantasy” due to insufficient quarantine facilities.
Andrews claimed the visa plan had not even been raised at national cabinet last week:
“That’s all great — so they’re going to issue visas to everybody, yes that’s a Commonwealth responsibility,” Mr Andrews said. “But, apparently, we have to quarantine them all in some unlimited capacity quarantine facility somewhere. It’s a fantasy.
