Repatriation flights from India to Australia
Today PM Scommo Morrison has done his press conference announcing the re-patriation of Indian Australian citizens starting next week - you always know when he has bowed under pressure - he tries to look extremely saintly and very serious.He was pressured by people no less than QC Geoffrey Robinson on legal rights as well as the leader of the opposition and other members of the labour party. Civil rights groups joined in - it seemed well at least half of the country were there - the other half were cowering behind him.
So there will be returning Indian Australians coming home to OZ next week - fully checked of course with all the modern gadgetry of science to ensure safety. Give him his due he had always said - "possibly next week" he had set an end date but left it open - now he is saying definitely and the date is secured. Hmm the power of the people again!

Good old Scotty as useless as he was during the bushfires, almost a total waste of space, his only saving grace is that he stopped Mr Potatohead our Defence Minister becoming PM and that Albo is as useless.They are emptying out Howard Springs to take returning citizens from India. What price Australian citizenship if you are not allowed to come home?

Yes Bruce but surely Howard Springs is not gonna be like Christmas Island is it? - Just a transit camp for a few days to check for viruses? - and then really home!mind you I am not sure what the phrase - "the govt has signed off a plan to bring aussies home' means? - are we gonna see this plan and who's signature or signatures are gonna be on it cos there may not be a rush to put ya signature on that heh?

Re: Repatriation flights from India to Australia
This is "Aussie corner" by the looks of it so here's my bit. Scotty sure has been under the pump. You(se) have summed him up pretty well. The Indian thing has been total stupidity. I am not advocating a "she'll be right" approach at all but prison threats??..Fines?? for Austraian citizens.. BS from the start. But apart from that, nothing more to add there. BUt my biggest disappointment is Albo. Not a leader I'm a afraid. He was great in his place. A knock about Labor trad working on the coal face. Doesn't have it for the top job I'm afraid. IMO Labor will have a better chance with Tania Plibersek I reckon but I think she is not prepared to put home and hearth in second place. Her kids are still young. Chris Bowen?..Waddayas reckon?...Same question if you're Lib/Nats.07-05-2021, 10:03 AM

Re: Repatriation flights from India to Australia
According to this evenings news the government is promising 1000 residents being repatriated by the end of June. At that rate it will be well into next year before all 9000 who wish to return can get home from just India.Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.
The Hawke/Keating years was a parliament full of stars, currently the best you can say is that they are a mediocre lot now.
