Chartered flight of NRL family and friends lands in Brisbane despite hotel quarantine ban Quote:The Queensland Government's controversial ban on hotel quarantine is under scrutiny today after allowing a charter flight full of NRL family and friends to land in Brisbane.
The NRL has confirmed the plane from Sydney landed yesterday, with the flight containing 100 players' wives, girlfriends, children and officials.
They went straight into 14 days of hotel quarantine, despite there being a two week ban in place to ease the pressure on the system.

"We're all in this together?" That quote will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest examples of hypocrisy ever.
