Spare a thought today for the #strandedAussies facing an uncertain future - lost jobs, unstable accommodation, overwhelmed health systems, flight delays, cancellations, non-refundable tickets for flights that will never go, and governments with no plan to get them all home.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. #strandedaussies, their friends and family need to make more noise. Australians are not getting truth or empathy from our leaders. https://t.co/QMjnykwzzq
The experts are telling us what needs to be done - the @amapresident has added his voice today.
Jane Halton laid out options for federal quarantine in her report to the Govt.
So when will Scott Morrison stop passing the buck to the states and act?

@rusticello@tomleggett@stevefeilding ... or become the Australian High Commissioner to the UK who took some extended holiday time in Oz while other citizens continued to be bumped from flights... shame on you George Brandis. Did Mr Brandis quarantine on arrival? Or was he also an ‘exception’?@SenatorWong @KKeneally
All we want is to come home. At our own expense. We don’t want a hand out or a hand up. We want a reliable quarantine system that puts Australians first.
Happy Australia Day, #strandedAussies#auspol
