How did Melbourne get hotel quarantine so wrong?

Quarantining international travellers has been a huge part of Australia’s successful management of COVID-19, however Victoria faces mass lockdowns in the face of a second wave. On today’s episode we find out what went wrong with Melbourne’s disastrous hotel quarantine management. Andrew Lund is the Nine News reporter who managed to get hotel security guards to speak out and joins us to dive deeper into what went wrong.

In today's news headlines:

• NSW to close the border on Victoria after spike, two deaths
• “It’s disgusting” Nine’s Brooke Boney backs Pauline Hanson axing
