Nah disagree. Hugely complex headache to move the facilities, and one of the biggest risks is transport which would be increased if you make people travel further

Which is why I used the word ‘consider’. I think there are trade-offs either way- one being that we could have the option of purpose built facilities that are safe and humane, allowing outdoor time for detainees.

And any discussion of logistical challenge of such efforts needs to be counterbalanced with consequences of outbreaks in metro areas.

And also consideration of outbreaks in substantially less well staffed rural/regional areas

Yes valid concern. As I said, trade offs either way that need weighing up. My point is that I do not believe this option has been considered seriously in the least, esp in view of evolving variants.

Disagree. There may not have been extensive public debate but that doesn't mean it hasn't been considered imo. I think there are quite a few very serious practical concerns that make it much more challenging than people think

‘doesn’t mean necessarily that it hasn’t been considered’ - But that doesn’t mean it has been considered.

Infection prevention and control has been discussed extensively and yet we still make blunders. Until two weeks ago two different states in Australia did not require quarantine guards to wear masks. some discussions deserve to be re-visited.

Not sure I'd describe them as blunders. Thus far HQ has had an impressively low failure rate - NSW has managed about 3k confirmed HQ cases and had, what, 2 confirmed leaks? 3? A rate of ~0.1% or so

Everything has a failure rate, given enough time it's a certainty that something will go wrong. That being said, I think the numbers are pretty impressive generally
