ravip Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 All tourists and foreign students who are unable to support themselves financially during the coronavirus pandemic have been told to go home by Scott Morrison. The prime minister said that while 'it is lovely to have visitors in good times', now is the time for them to leave so officials can focus on supporting Australians in need. It is likely a difficult position for Mr Morrison to take, given his previous role as director of Tourism Australia, where he famously hired Lara Bingle to help lure travellers in. But now ministers are focused on helping to keep Australians afloat, pledging $130 billion for a JobKeepers package for workers, many of whom faced losing their jobs.

jimmjam Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 How can alot of them go home, are you going to fly them out yourself.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieBob18 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Sounds fair to me. If they dont have money to support themselves, then go home. They can apply for financial support to get a return ticket/trip if they dont already have one booked. Tourists and Students are supposed to have a return flight already organised before they arrive. If they cann suppport themselves, then the Govt has stated they can stay passed Visa expiry. I dont see the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something like this is done in Thailand or any other developing poor country, then it is a human rights issue! They become morons, stupid, unintelligent, uncivilised etc... Are there two 'sets' of rules? For the developed & the undeveloped? Or to any other different 'classes'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PM has been warning those people to leave when/if they can for weeks. What he is saying now is that his Govt (Us Taxpayers) will not pay them what he is paying to Aussies who are unemployed/struggling. Your 'human rights' rubbish is completely false logic. If anyone is in troublke there are support systems in place and they will be looked after in Australia. But they will not get any money that is being paid to Aussies - they were warned to leave weeks ago - they were told it was going to get worse - now they are deamnding the same payments as is going to Aussies and claiming it is their 'human right' to get those payments. Stop supporting scammers who deliberatly abuse the system that is for those in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a panic situation, you are right, lot of RUBBISH will be thrown around to cover rubbish. In the end, there will be a pile of rubbish! Your indignation, I understand very clearly and don't blame you one bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

from the home of CC Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 This is why Thailand needed those subs. All these diseased tourists on cruise ships may be headed in this direction after being forced away from the shores of Australia. Man the torpedoes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
