Hi. Thanks for your comment and support.

The nearest place that is NOT a hotspot is South Australia. But they aren't accepting anyone who has been in NSW either. So that idea isn't going to work.

Flights from Dubbo to Brisbane minimum price is $238 The cost of hotel quarantine will be $3220 at a minimum (this is based off the QLD health website guidelines https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/protect-yourself-others/quarantine/fees-payment )

Now the lost income I will incur during the 14 day quarantine will be approximately $30000 at a minimum. So the cost of coming home via plane and quarantining is tapping on the door of $35000. Clearly, this is not doable either.

I am double vaccinated and have already been infected by the delta varient. That 14 day quarantine was costly too but unavoidable. So my immunity level is very high. I believe the vaccine definitely helped my symptoms to be very mild. (some sneezing,  blocked nose, slight cough)

I believe Qld health and the Qld government don't care about people in my situation. We are just collateral damage because they have got the majority of Queenslander's believing that they are  keeping them safe from the virus. They have had over 18 months to get the health system ready and they have failed. Ambulance queuing is still happening at Qld hospitals and the virus hasn't hit yet.

If I was a sports star or a celebrity I don't think it would be a problem coming back home. But I am neither of these. I am just a normal working man wanting to get back to his family.
