Australians face $66K fine and jail time if they fly home from India during COVID-19 travel ban
- Thread starter mandrill

That policy would have been considered extremely racist not so long ago, depending on what politician recommended it.
So that's what a real lockdown looks like! Good to know if we ever want to get our numbers down. For now the government will keep increasing the vacancy rate at the LTC facilities.
It IS racist... they are specifically targeting people of a specific nation
It's not like an Indian could not cross a border to another nation and THEN fly home
Same nonsense in Canada why so many going through US
Aussie has ONLY banned DIRECT flights between India and Australia

If you ban everyone who visited India or surrounding countries in the past 14 days it is not racist, you are targeting an area not a race.
Better yet deny entry to anyone who is outside the Canada, Canadians included.
Unless its Christ on his second coming, then his condition for entry would be to get rid of covid worldwide to enter.
But that is NOT what they are doing
They are ONLY banning DIRECT flights
An Indian who goes through another country can enter Aus legally
(I even linked the govt website above)
You mean the website that states this?
"Australia has temporarily suspended direct flights between India and Australia until 15 May. From 12.01 am on Monday 3 May 2021, persons who have been in India in the last 14 days will not be permitted to enter Australia."
Notice the part where it says" persons who have been in India in the last 14 days will not be permitted to enter Australia."
Nope, from the website you posted, they banned all exit from Australia as well.Aussie has ONLY banned DIRECT flights between India and Australia

" There's a ban on overseas travel from Australia. You can’t leave Australia unless you have an exemption from the Department of Home Affairs, or are travelling to a destination that is exempt from the ban."
Also:
If you’re overseas and wish to return to Australia, be prepared for delays and read our advice on trying to get home.
No exit is new though so people out before ban allowed to re-renter
Same thing we had in Canada
Snowbirds leave then Trudope changed the rules to come back
