Recently released gov data (ABS) shows 64% of Aussie Expats couldn't return home as planned in the first year of hotel quarantine.
90,000+ #StrandedAussies , just some of those the caps have left behind. ๐

It can't be a surprise to the Australian Government there are so many #strandedAussies at Christmas
Math:
* BARA in Aug "100,000 stranded" https://t.co/v2UVPqMKCv
* Caps limit 60,000 to land (Aug-Dec)
* 40,000 #strandedAussies are abandoned

DFAT's number is worse than wrong, it's deceptive.
3 times the original (August) estimate have landed.
The government must release a realistic estimate.

DFAT's number is worse than wrong, it's deceptive.
In August it was 18,000 wanting to come home.
Since then ~36,000 people have landed.
The DFAT number is now 29,100.
The government must release a realistic estimate.

Provisional September numbers:
- Number of people landed was 714 LESS than caps
- Combining ABS data set, we can see the visa types and Aus & NZ citizens.

DFAT numbers of #strandedAussies Aussies are wrong.
DFAT: 35,700 registered Australian Citizens overseas.
ABS: 60,000 Australian Citizens exited April - August alone.
DFAT should pick up the phone to the ABS and get credible numbers.

How good is this really?
Rough numbers:
* Current caps are around 5,575 a week.
* Most planes have around 55 people on them (~100 flights a week).
* 250 a week? equivalent of 2.5 more people on flights already flying.

Good to see some movement from the government.
The announcement is 1,000 a month, roughly 250 a week.
Or a about 4.5% increase in weekly caps.
Thank for start to help, but so much more to do.

I can prove it with the Government's own data that there's hundreds of thousands of Australians locked out by the Government caps.

So the DFAT number of ~26,800 is around just 2.7% of the (SmartTraveller) estimate of Australians overseas -a tiny amount.
The DFAT number needs to be stop being used, and a realistic estimate published instead.

DFAT roll out numbers of #strandedAussies that don't stack up.
In a month ~20,000 arrivals, but DFAT's number went up 50% (18,000 -> 26,800).
26,800? Is a tiny subset of the hundreds of thousands stranded.

Is money really an excuse for Caps?
Australia: $20 million is too much for getting citizens into NSW
Also Australia: $9bn spent on offshore processing and onshore mandatory detention between 2016 and 2020

Something doesn't add up.
12/7: "NSW bill for quarantine accommodation approaching $20 million"
Min landed April - July 12th: 34,500
Average cost: $580
Charge: $3,000 per adult

DFAT 20/8: people registered with DFAT ... includes 18,800 who have expressed a wish to return to Australia.
Maths: 4000/wk (cap) clears that by 20/9
Tickets sold out 20/8 - 24/10 = 37,714

@KKeneally @AuSenate @ScottMorrisonMP @tegangeorge @10NewsFirst Where's the bottleneck on Hotel Quarantine? We're nearly 6 months into hotel quarantine and no increase? there's loads of hotels - https://t.co/BpvKybtM0i

Hotel capacity isn't an excuse for the Government arrival caps.
I'll prove it with the Government's own data.

@MarkMcGowanMP has only used half current "arrivals cap" for oversea arrivals to date.
@ScottMorrisonMP 'Increased' caps include an "additional 500" for WA. How many will be actually used for #strandedAussies ?

Also WA: 26% (750) less August (2,150) v July (2,900)

The 'increased' caps announced by

NSW (Berejiklian): Will take an extra 500 arrivals a week only if QLD and WA doubled their caps.
Also NSW: 14% (15,60) less August (9,660 ) v July (11,220)
