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.
As a UK based Aussie, the locals are sometimes shocked at what the Australian Government gets away with. Things which are simply not allowable under the ECHR which the UK is a signatory too.
