So dumb that they haven't been doing this all along.

It means not "With Corona" but "With Testing" in the post corona Orwellian world. It's insane and I wouldn't like to take it for granted.

More proof that Politicians aren’t the sharpest tools in the box

Exactly.
Quite the opposite of certain countries.
Credible numbers obtained after massive testing.

1/ Its not "self quarantine "....it's mandatory quarantine with Border Force or similar making sure you don't leave your hotel room where 98% of the quarantine occurs
2/Quarantine is for 14 days, the best estimate for the virus to show itself.
3/Hence not foolish to have omitted to test in the past.....I accept this should now occur, but a {maybe false } neg. wouldn't change the length of quarantine .
4/Im in Japan and want to return to Oz but I couldn't take 14 days in a hotel room.

I doubt if they are still "returned travellers" Aussies were told to come home 3 months ago. Mostly duel citizens or extentended families on compassionate grounds for a safer option and better health care in Australia.
