, the former Test opening batter found his way to the Maldives, where he will wait until he can legally return home.of up to $66,600 or five years in prison for anyone defying the travel ban preventing Australians returning home from India.
Two hours later, the 51-year-old posted: “And for those who think this is a money exercise. Well forget it. This is what I do for a living and I have not made a penny having left early. So please stop the abuse and think of the thousands dying in India each day. It’s called empathy. If only our government had some!”
“We are deeply, deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in India. But the best way I can get them safely home is by doing what I am doing right now,’’ the Prime Minister told 2GB radio.last week before the travel restrictions were introduced. “They’ve travelled there privately under their own arrangements. This wasn’t part of an Australian tour,” Morrison said.
Long queues were seen at vaccination centres across the weekend, with people desperate to be inoculated against a disease that has overwhelmed the healthcare system.
I'm not a Scomo fan but here I 100% agree with him. The cricketers knew what they were getting themselves into prior to leaving Australia to chase the big $$$. It's not our government's fault here.
Selfish Self Centred Cricketer. He went for the money. If he has money he can fly to a 'safe country' & stay there safe till Australia sorts the quarantine out that can cope with this very bad strain of CoVid19. PM is right to want to protect Aussies
He put himself at risk for money. Now he wants to put other Aussies at risk. Government did the right thing. Slater needs a serving for being SO SELFISH
Slater stick to what you know and understand.Leave the running of the nation to the elected leaders.
Drop off mj_slats. You flew to India well aware of the risks but happy to accept the remuneration. It’s called personal responsibility- look it up
These people here that think it’s a disgrace to stop people from India at the moment coming home, are the biggest disgrace. They choose to go to India during COVID-19, there has been a huge out break in India if you haven’t seen. Why return them home? Fools
Some dumb dickheads are still not getting it. So the country can abandon you in case of pandameic. Wow. Citizenship becomes meaningless now.
Criminalising the right of Australian citizens to return home? Time to rip up the passport.. ashamed to be Australian today.
Who's Michael Slater?
They wanted to go to india so let them stay there, people need to see whats more important here and that is the safety of our country. Keep up the good work Mr Scotty
No one can stop anyone leaving. But you don't have the right come back breaking rules. And that also goes for cricketers who went to play in India on contracts.
He went there in a pandemic getting pay thousands to do it and complains when the gov look after the majority of Australians not the minority I think it’s a bit rich of him to carry on
I think its unbelievable hard if you are not aloud to fly home 😢
MSMWatchdog2013 Yes Yes Yes once you lose the colonial sportsmen you're doomed Good riddance Scomao good riddance
66k or jail !!!! or death ? The 1st 2 options sounds like the one i would follow.
This is totally not fare with all the citizens Australia left all for no reason!!
Leaving his fellow countrymen to die just because the govt is too lazy to put a quarantine program together for it's own citizens. Lest we forget my a$%&. Exactly what Scomo would do to our soldiers if they ever get stuck in a danger zone. This is a historical blunder
Shut up slater you flog
Where was the outrage when the State of Victoria was isolated & a basket case with 800 plus deaths & no one in government knew who was running hotel quarantine,where was Slater then
I’ve flipped and flopped on this one. It’s been 15 months since going anywhere was dangerous. We’ve all made calculated decisions and we’re all still making them.
Wasn't that long ago when Victorians could not even leave their own state
bringthemhome
I agree. It’s a disgrace
Michael Slater went to India to fill up his bank account with Indian money. He must pay the price for his greed and eat butter chicken for a few more weeks.
Giggidy 💦💦
