'We got an exemption to leave Aus during a pandemic, after the boarders were closed. We didn't know how hard it would be to get back Guess all the stories of the people stuck overseas that had been going on for months before you left went straight over your heads.

Why posting a three week old story? Didn’t someone offer to cover their costs to come home? Pretty sure that was on 9 news the next day.

Greatest country in the world they told us...blah blah blah. The ANZACs would be turning in their graves.

'I think it would be completely wrong for this country and we are going to do everything in our power to prevent it.' you wouldn’t trust the UK govt to get you a coffee Who cares about Britain? And even health care workers in England can't access covid19 testing. People are told to travel hundreds of kilometres to the nearest testing centre. Very sad.

Calls for government to use federal quarantine and RAAF planes to help bring stranded Australians homeThe Border Force commissioner has rebuffed calls for the Commonwealth to accommodate thousands of Australians returning from overseas, as Labor also suggested RAAF planes should help bring people home. So it’s not the states that are the problem, it is the federal government shirking again. We protect livestock. What humans deserve less? 🤨 It would be great if WA, QLD, SA and the NT could take all of these travellers. VIC and NSW have had enough

An additional 2,000 stranded Australians could fly home under new government proposalThe federal government wants to lift the number of returning travellers permitted to fly home to Australia by pressuring states and territories to ramp up their hotel quarantine capacity. THE ONLY TIME our boarders faced AN ACTUAL THREAT Dutton ScottMorrisonMP LNP ARE DOING NOTHING! Auspol What a rubbish headline. Here, let me fix it for you. The Morrison govt has abandoned thousands of Aussies overseas, with some flights now costing over $20k for an economy seat. As they waste time failing to resolve it, they are trying to shift blame to Labor States - again. How about pressuring the WA government to take its OWN RESIDENTS? This is still not being reported on by a single media outlet.
