I was waiting for some of these comments..... There’s always someone like you to bring this up.

In any given year the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates there’s around 1 million Australians living and working overseas. Australians. You know, people like you that have a legal right to live in Australia....

They don’t need a second “native country” to be over there for a few years. Likewise all those imported workers in Australia (on legitimate visas) don’t necessarily become Australians.

It’a not “because we are reasonably COVID safe” that they want to return. It’s because they have lost the jobs they’ve had. Or family members become sick. Or it’s simply time to come back. You think Australia is this awesome place that everyone looks upon with envy....

Reality is most people around the world are privately laughing at us. And in the year of COVID actually find it disgusting how we are treating our own citizens.
