The Australian Defence Force (ADF) repeatedly offered to provide security for Victoria’s quarantine hotels, contradicting claims from Premier Daniel Andrews.

Hundreds of defence force personnel were placed on standby across the country on March 27, after it was announced returned overseas travellers would be required to complete 14 days of hotel quarantine.
