Victoria has recorded eight new cases of COVID-19, the bulk of which are among returning overseas travellers in quarantine. More than half a million Victorians have been tested.

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese fears the federal government's $688 million HomeBuilder program will not cover enough homes or create enough apprenticeships.

Mr Albanese said Labor would more often than not support government plans that stimulate the economy, but the party would wait to examine final details before deciding its position on HomeBuilder.Prime Minister Scott Morrison defends caps on size of HomeBuilder renovationsPrime Minister Scott Morrison has defended caps on the size of renovations under the government’s new HomeBuilder package as necessary to avoid a repeat of the Rudd government’s home insulation program.

Mr Morrison told Brisbane radio station 4BC it was necessary to cap the renovations between $150,000 and $750,000 to avoid a situation where the grants could be taken advantage of and to ensure they were spent on major projects.Asked if the government was trying to avoid another “Pink Batts”, Mr Morrison said: “That is right, that is a big part of the reason”.

“We’re looking at the big renovations, so where people are making major structural changes,” he said.

So I want to make sure I understand this right, the returning passengers havent tested positive but are quarantined as a precaution right? If so, why do they add them to the case numbers now? Test them when they get out and add them then if positive.
