Have you stayed in one yet?
We haven't left the country since the Covid and we usually travel at least four times a year, usually once a year to the USA (but with all the violence there now, we might not visit for awhile). Things are so messed up down here with each state having control of borders, we haven't even left the state in almost two years, because we can't take the change of getting back, even into our own state. This is the issue which I believe is the worst violation of human rights in Oz. Some states like People's Republic of Victoria (Melbourne) led by Chairman Dan Andrews, had horrible restricitons and lock-downs (worse in the world) and that state has had it borders locked down the most. Three y years ago, before Covid, Melbourne was voted the best city in the world, that was a joke then, but it really a joke now!
Things are much different here in Oz with each state controlling its own borders and requiring their own individual quarantine rules. The Federal Government only controls the national borders. Here is the NT guidelines and what the facilities contain:

When these were built by the Japanese for their oil and gas project in 2012, they were built for 3500 oil and gas construction workers and at the height their were 7000 foreign workers and 1000 Aussie workers. The architect firm won an award for the design:

That is the reason that this facilities look so large from the air, it really now is able to hold 850 temporary people, mostly just for 14 days each.
All these article are just propaganda either from the left or right, depending whose view there is. While the one woman in this thread was very unhappy, here is one from a women last year who thought it was great:
It irritates me that we are beating each other up when both the USA and Oz are having our problems and China just takes advantages of this. The PRC does indeed put out a lot of anti-Australian propaganda every day as we have been the country leading the opposition to the PRC over the Hong Kong takeover, the investigations of the Covid origins, protecting Taiwan, keeping them our of Asian trade alliances and kicking many PRC out of Australia who were infiltrating the government and universities.
