But they had a $750 one off payment so that marginal hospital workers wouldn't have to go to work while they had COVID.
Gee that amount of money sure would cover anyone's expenses for weeks if they kept testing positive.

These people ....
The abuse and mistreatment for decades of elderly Australians in #AgedCareAU that was overseen by the Australian federal Health Department was ordinary for these people.

Health Minister Mark Butler...
"Obviously that is about providing support to those workers," ... "making sure that if they contract COVID there is no disincentive from them isolating and not going to work and potentially exposing residents of their aged care facility to a ..."
As if a one off $750 will be enough for people positive for weeks!
What a dishonest ahole.
And they're going ahead now while yabbering about getting settings right.

Any social contract between the parliament and those working in crowded COVID-spreading offices has been nullified.
Your families' life, health and security just don't matter.
Otherwise clean air in offices would be happening already.
If this "let it rip" policy is well based on medical and scientific advice then that advice must present a grim or dire outlook.
Without transparency about what the advice is I am left thinking they have decided to roll the dice, gamble with the public's health, in the hope of saving businesses and employment in industries like entertainment, hospitality and tourism.

"Reducing overall burden of death and disease due to SARS-CoV-2 will require strategies for reinfection prevention."
Date: 10 November 2020
This was published and known prior to many governments around the globe "letting it rip" for mass mixing events liske Christmas, Western New Year and Chinese New Year 2022/2023
The governments knew what they were doing.
They need to explain why they did it.
A new analysis using US Department of Veterans Affairs databases showed that reinfection is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality, hospitalization and a wide range of long COVID complications in individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 compared to those with no reinfection.
Hearing of an office worker who went to work with "a cold". Didn't wear a mask.
But it was COVID and now three of their co-workers are down with COVID.
At a 10% chance of Long COVID at each roll of the dice, that makes a 40% chance of a Long COVID case resulting.
Are you being paid enough for you risking Long COVID?
At least demand #MaskIfUnwell rules in your indoor workplace.
