Coronavirus: Governments slammed for 'treating celebrities different to residents' in quarantine
Australia's governments have fallen under heavy criticism over enforced hotel quarantine measures, accused of treating mega-rich celebrities differently to the average resident.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, as well as Dannii Minogue, have all been granted quarantine exemptions to self-isolate in their mansion homes in NSW and Queensland.
The celebrities were allowed to pay for their own security teams to ensure they could stay in their own homes while filming television programs.
Queenslander Nicola Ferguson, however, will have to pay thousands for her stay in a cramped Brisbane hotel room after flying back from New Zealand, where she said goodbye to her dying mother and organised her funeral.
"Money obviously talks a lot louder than the average taxpaying citizen in Australia," she said.
"Nobody disputes that quarantine is necessary. It is not necessary from a COVID-free country."
Ms Ferguson was denied a quarantine exemption of her own when she requested to isolate in her house, despite New Zealand currently having no community transmission of coronavirus.
Queensland Health responded to her request by saying it "does not meet the threshold for exceptional circumstances".
