A plan for international students to start returning to Australia this month has been postponed because of heightened uncertainty about the containment of COVID-19.
The universities viewed the plan to have students arrive for second semester as laying the groundwork for large-scale arrivals across the country in the year ahead but on Thursday announced the plan would be suspended. Under the plan, students would have come to Canberra on a charter flight from an Asian airline hub. They would have quarantined for two weeks in hotels. The effort would have been funded by the students and universities, with support from the ACT government.

fergushunter ... because hotel quarantine leaks the virus into the community and the universities wanted to bring tens of thousands of overseas students into Australia, many from a country that has previously falsified its health data. auspoI
fergushunter The idea that they could bring foreign students back at this point, even before MEL lockdown, is beyond unbelievable.
fergushunter Yup its all the virus totes nothing to do with the country it came from.

Senior students behind runaway COVID-19 cluster at Al-Taqwa CollegeSenior Al-Taqwa College students are said to be main source of Victoria's second-largest COVID-19 cluster, which has exploded from a few cases last week to 90. Say the line, vanOnselenP ! So it’s not from a randy unskilled security guard ThankGod That’s because they are the source - superspreader. Most of us did the right thing for Easter and Mother’s Day- but when it came to celebrating that pedophile prophet and his clan- they didn’t adhere to what the rest of us did ... and boom here we are.
