Australia will reduce the number of international flights entering the country to ease pressure on hotel quarantine amid Melbourne's coronavirus outbreak.
States have urged the federal government to slow the pace of international arrivals as hotel capacity is stretched. Melbourne will re-enter lockdown for six weeks at midnight on Wednesday, putting five million people under stay-at-home orders., with a further three in the ACT linked to the Melbourne infection spike.
"We're all Victorians now because we're all Australians and that's where the challenge is right now."
Absolute tosser ScottMorrisonMP don't you friggin' get it!?
Do returnees have to pay for the hotel?
What about allowing returning citizens to quarantine at home. Problem solved. But no Aust once again has to be the hardline police state that it is. Laws laws laws!
*After the next Hillsong Convention
Why are they letting people fly into the country when we're not allowed to fly out
The dumb continues. Australian business people need a special category to support the development of a productive, sustainable and export driven economy. Get on with it
ScoMo you need to build or obtain quarantining villages outside of cities so major populations are not at risk as the virus is going to be around for a long time.
About bloody time.
Too fuckin late
Are we not closed?
Oh, he’s alive is he?
Deadline should be given for all dual citizens. Citizens to be given a later dead line. If they haven’t come home yet what the hell are they waiting for?
I thought our borders where closed!!
how low has Australia become stopping its citizens from returning home.
You used a photo of people of Asian descent? Really?
Photo is very appropriate for the situation me thinks!

Queensland joins WA in push for international flight cap amid Melbourne virus spikeState premiers have lobbied the Morrison government to reduce international flights coming into Australia as Melbourne grapples with a coronavirus spike. I wonder if any States would have coped with the influx of infectious returning travellers that Melbourne has endured. If the whole world had done this and shut everything down (except essential services) for 1 month back in Feb/March the virus would be all but gone. Hey, but what do I know, I’m not a world leader who’s main interest has been the economy. And hasn’t that worked out just great. Needs to happen while the country grapples with Victoria. Every day more Covid people come into the country. One into NSW is now at risk of spreading it in Newcastle. Stem the flow!
