That’s kinda my point. If you were residing in Australia, sure, it’s about your safety. If you were an Australian that was in a foreign country, with no healthcare and no support, your life wasn’t as important. Couldn’t risk bringing Covid into Australia so let them fight it out in some other country that actually had no responsibility for them. Aren’t we all Australian and deserve safety, support and ability to be in Australia to be with family?Christ, it had nothing to do with convenience and everything to do with saving lives. I agree with you how awful it was. But they did the best they could under the extreme circumstances they found themselves in, with absolutely NO playbook on how to go about this.
It is what it is. The world has moved on. But that doesn’t make the way everyone handled it right. Not at the time and not in hindsight.
