I refer to the state government's
management of hotel quarantine.

Mercure, Four Points by Sheraton Perth and Novotel Perth Langley hotels, on
what date will each hotel be decommissioned for use by returning travellers?
(2) On what date will each hotel
receive their final intake of guests?

yesterday's mandatory vaccination deadline for hotel security guards,
how many guards did not begin the vaccination process prior to 10 May?
(4) Can the
minister confirm that those guards are no longer employed in hotel quarantine
