India registered 386,452 new coronavirus cases on Friday, yet another global record high for infections in a single day.
The suspension of air travel has been put in place until 15 May, and the Chief Medical Officer will reconsider the penalty at that stage.

This is Absolute Disgraceful and Shameful Australian Govt Act, Federal Govt should Stop this Act to Ban Australians coming Back To Home Land
As much as I want to rag on the incompetent government, didn’t NZ do the same thing?
It is Inhumane, Amoral, UnAustralian & Unconstitutional! Strange how Aussies were allowed back at the height of the US & Italian Outbreaks! Remember the Aspen Skier Cluster? Color & Religion Will be read into this! Frydenberg mocking Hindi faith Feb 2020
I support ScoMo.
'The penalty for failing to comply with the emergency determination ... could attract a $66,600 fine or the five-year jail term ... HumanRightsWatch was quick to slam the government’s outrageous response...' Precedent-setting. Thank you for the report, friends.
Where will they be gaoled? If they are banned from entering Australia for health reasons where does this government intend putting them?
The federal government should feel shameless and disgusting.
Discriminatory & anti human rights. This criminalisation of Australians returning from India was not the response to those returning from the USA, the UK, Europe when their COVID rates were high. It can only be understood as racial discrimination Completely shameful
This is not right! In the time of need, stranded Australians need help and the Government is abandoning them? Not very Australian like is it! Well that saying is truly dead. What does it mean to be Australian now? We are Australian and we abandon our mates ScottMorrisonMP
'...allow the bearer, an Australian Citizen, to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford him or her every assistance and protection of which he or she may stand in need.'
The vaccines are what's killing people. Liberty is never given by federal government tyrants. You must unite with we the people and take it by force. The government is in bed with Big Pharma drugs/vaccines, CDC & Bill Gates. StopComplying Take up arms & defend your neighbor.
Oh dear
temporary being the key word that makes it this tyranny all possible
Just showing they lack confidence in their own quarantine systems
Since when it was a criminal offence that Aussies returned to their own country.
DISGUSTING
This is absolutely appalling. I thought 'We are one'. You've lost my vote ScottMorrisonMP.
Wow
What a shameful way to deal with this worldwide problem . Take responsibility for our citizens. Don’t desert them ! I am over the scaremongering for votes. The overuse of power. Where is the ANZAC spirit today? What happens if there is another virus?
They only did that when a plane load arrived after transferring though DOHA.
Same DFAT stranded registered BKK consular 13 April 2020. Told you come back home to your wife and home in Sydney 5 years in jail
As long as it applies to all and only for a very short amount of time. I’m sorry but people can’t be trusted, they ban people from coming and people look for way around it. I’d like to know how many of those trapped there left after Covid started. We must focus on helping India.
From the Attorney General’s Department website.
So, if everyone currently in India was to travel home in the next week and the maximum penalty applied to all the government would have to build new prisons to house them... Alternatively they could build a dedicated quarantine facility,SNAFU.
UNHumanRights
There should never be a time where out government cannot bring our citizens home - bloody disgrace....not sure why they are in India in the first place, but if they were able to get there they should be able to get back.
That’s disgusting. How can anyone with a conscience do this? The next election cannot come fast enough
Unless u r rich & famous
It's a little over the top. You banned the flights - that's enough. No one from India comes to Australia by boat and Australia is not that hot as a destination any more, any way. There's a limit to Scott Morrison they even foreigners can take
Won't: do federal quarantine centres Will: jail their own citizens LNPCrimeFamily LNPfail ScottyFail VoteThemAllOut
Does that include cricketers
Unless the Feds can quarantine these people in a fit for purpose facility than this is the best option for the rest of this country. Why the Feds won't set up such a facility is beyond me. Money money I guess.
Scott Morrison government abandoning Australian citizens in India. Hardly surprising ... he abandoned Australians and went on holiday to Hawaii with his family while 🇦🇺 was burning 🔥
they should have been home by christmas these deaths are on morrison
'The penalty for failing to comply with the emergency determination under the Biosecurity Act, coming into effect at 12:01am Monday, could attract a $66,600 fine or the five-year jail term.' $66,600 666 Seriously? A shout out the Talibangelicals?
