The Federal Government has increased its powers of surveillance, detention and disinfection to combat swine flu, as the number of possible Australian cases under investigation rises to 111.
Health Minister Nicola Roxon says she has no intention of forcibly detaining or isolating people, but has nevertheless sought the extra powers just in case the problem escalates and authorities need to act quickly.
The nation’s health authorities are now trying to track down 22 Australians who were on the same plane as three New Zealand students who have contracted swine flu."
