Interesting article in todays age/smh , "Can you come home , what happens if you get COVID overseas"
You won't have travel insurance if you travel to any country on DFAT "do not travel" list & that is all countries except NZ
How interesting is it then to see the PM at the QF Love In last week , pumping up the volume, telling everyone how wonderful if all is
& of course lots of "look at me" time with QF people. When his Governments official advice is "do not travel"
If you contract Covid in the USA & need hospitalisation you won't receive treatment unless you hand over a very large amount of cash upfront circa $50K - or no treatment for you
Contact Aust Embassy all you like , they will not assist you financially & will point out that you ignored Fed Govt travel advice & the fact that the PM attended
a QF OS travel promotion is meaningless
You may well find yourself in over your head if you wish to go yodelling in the Swiss Alps over summertime or duck over to Cali to get that selfie with MIckie & Minnie
The Airline staff will all get VIP medical/swift evacuations - not available to Joe Average
You go down hard with Covid OS , you are on your own Feds won't touch you, QF will sell you a biz class fare to RIo but they sure aren't going to put their hand in their pocket to get you out of there if you get Covid
