Covid-19: Govt struggling to recruit MIQ security staff

The Government is struggling to recruit more than 100 security staff needed for the managed isolation and quarantine hotels.

Following a privacy breach in August last year when a security guard posted a list of names of people staying in MIQ the government said remaining security staff would be employed directly by MBIE in future.

But that doesn't appear to be going so well.
