It also shifts the decision making from the Director-General of Health to a Minister—something that is better for the purposes of public and parliamentary accountability. If we did not extend the Act, the Act would expire just before Christmas. To give you an indication of what that would mean, it would mean that some of the orders that I have made, first as Minister of Health, and then as Minister for COVID-19 Response, would no longer apply—and that includes things like the protections put in place at our border in particular, and the requirements put in place around regularised testing of those who are most at risk. Those orders would no longer apply if the Act under which they were made was expired, so it's important that we extend the Act.
