Rescue plan to bring home stranded Aussies from overseas


Recommended Posts

Posted

Stranded Australians would be evacuated from overseas and placed into quarantine in facilities in remote areas of Australia under rescue missions being drawn up by the Morrison government.

 

A separate multimillion-dollar fund will also be established to support overseas-based citizens who are struggling financially and cannot get home.

The plans are being developed in response to anger from stranded citizens, growing uneasiness among Australia's network of ambassadors and a flurry of calls to backbench MPs by angry constituents...

Thanks for the link. Certainly needs to be adressed by now ,poor effort to repat its citizens , one call “to come home now” early on in the piece ,nothing since despite huge effort by bkk embassy staff to piggy back off Thai repat flightsll Off course many will say you had your chance! OK so what now? Stiff luck? Hardly solves the problem and with the caps in place it’s a mess.
