@airindiain How many seats are to be sold per flight @airindiain? We #strandedaussies need transparency.. cc @AusHCIndia

[Sri @curioussrikanth]

@airindiain @AusHCIndia @MoCA_GoI @HardeepSPuri will there ever be any transparency on why anyone of #strandedaussies cannot book tickets AI website or app & y does tickets shows sold out before it's open to normal public? Is there any accountability at all?

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

Scott Morrison announced a 1500 person increase in the weekly quarantine caps.

So who in his Government is responsible for ensuring the extra places go to #strandedAussies?

The answer shows Scott Morrison just wants a headline - he doesn't care about actually helping people.

[Katy Gallagher @SenKatyG]

35,700 Australians are stranded overseas. What has Scott Morrison done to bring them home?

Extra repatriation flights❌
Support extra commercial flights❌
Put the RAAF fleet in the air to bring ppl home❌
Open C'wealth quarantine facilities to boost capacity❌

So, nothing.

[Sri @curioussrikanth]

Hello @AusHCIndia you & your team might be doing a lot behind the screens to help #strandedaussies get home, but since we only we see you forward the posts from AI on when tickets open and nothing else (atleast in public), would you care to let us know what AHC is doing to help?

[Garima @Garima4Garima4]

@HardeepSPuri Dear Mr. Puri. An acquaintance of mine went to Air India office for VBM flight tickets to Sydney.Thy were told to get the recommendation letter from the minister. So could you pls send a recommendation letter ASAP for me and my 3 year old to travel to Sydney.thanks!

[Aravind S @arvindn85]

@KKeneally @AuSenate @ScottMorrisonMP @SenatorWong @removethecaps Thank you so much @KKeneally for being the voice of stranded people. The stranded Aussies who are separated from families and loved ones for many months without any help from the government will definitely remember this when it matters.

[Sri @curioussrikanth]

@AusHCIndia @airindiain @AusHCIndia another debacle of no tickets, how long are we going to hitch hike on VBM. Please help us, thought it's AHC job description to help stranded Aussies in India. It's 7months and CLEARLY hitch hiking on VBM is not working @KKeneally @SenatorWong #strandedAussies

[Vivek @Vivek74217480]

@ScottMorrisonMP @AusHCIndia Sir plz tell us what's your plan. We are seriously frustrated and tired of this trying to find out a way to fly back. Only one flight is flying from Delhi to Sydney with very very fewer tickets. Will you please be kind and bother to help us. 🙏

[Yogesh @YogeshM54841613]

To Authorities,
Nobody able to return from India due to lack of flights. Air India scheduled few flights, do not intended fly due to low number of traveller from Australia. Single or families with infant & toodler are struggling to return becoz no way to return &nil aid frm AHC

[Sri @curioussrikanth]

@airindiain @AusHCIndia @HardeepSPuri could you please tell us when will the tickets open Delhi to Sydney, the first flight is just 5days away (7th), we need to plan a lots of logistics to get to Delhi. It's been 7months we are stranded #strandedAussies @KKeneally @SenatorWong

[Anjana Addagarla @AddagarlaAnjana]

@airindiain When you will update flights to Australia?

[Yogesh @YogeshM54841613]

@ScottMorrisonMP @KKeneally @SenatorWong
Lets be real. People only realise when they are in stranded people's shoes. Otherwise pollies talk like kindy student without any conclusive road map or plan to execute. Be empathic for humanity and arrange our own resources to bring back

[Zehra @Zehra30038330]

@curioussrikanth @KKeneally @SenatorWong Please allow us to self isolate, it will be a lot better and more helpful not only for the states but also for us to return, specially those travelling with kids.. Hefty fines can be taken if we breach home quarantine.. Please help us.. Its been 8 months now.

[Sri @curioussrikanth]

@KKeneally @SenatorWong Could you please ask the Govt why someone tested +ve within Australia is asked to self isolate, vs those Australian travelling home from overseas are forcefully asked to pay for hotel quarantine although tested -ve at Port of origin & destination?

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

There are 25,000 Australians stranded abroad who still call Australia home – desperate to return.

Well, planes are sitting idle. Hotels rooms are sitting empty. The Morrison Government needs to find a way to bring these people home.

It’s within their power. Just get it done.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Written in the front page of every Australian passport is the request that Australians travelling overseas be allowed to pass “without let or hindrance.” It’s a request the Morrison Government is failing to honour.

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

All the Morrison Government announced today was a letter to the states telling them to do more - two months after Scott Morrison announced the caps.

Still no plan to get #strandedAussies home.

Still no offer from Scott Morrison to help.

Just more "I don’t hold a hose, mate."
