I’m London-based but suddenly needed to return home as my Dad has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I’m leaving my family behind in the UK to get back and during one of the most stressful, darkest moments of my life my government has made it almost impossible to return to see him. I have spent endless weeks watching cancelled flights and trying to get a seat while being told I can only guarantee to fly if it’s business class due to the flight caps. The consequence of flight caps is that ppl need to pay up to £10,000 one way and $3000 quarantine - since when did seeing dying relatives become a privilege for the wealthy? This is a disgraceful way to treats Aussies and made worse by our gov telling us “we should have come back sooner”. Where is the compassionate Australia I left behind, that I saw during the bushfires? Easier to blame us than take responsibility for social distancing at the pub. As someone who proudly calls themselves an Australian overseas, I have never felt more unwelcome. I still call Australia home, but turns out it doesn’t want me back.....
