If they are all passport holders, then what is wrong with testing for the

The ones in India that test positive must stay there untill they
recover,( or die, only •02% ?) so shouldn't be a problem ??

Re: Home amongst the gum trees!
well happy to report that our first half empty plane arrived safely at Darwin airport and the ozzie Indians were transported to their temporary accommodation on the sparkling new army base - and they settled in well into their little cabins! x 14days. Got some athletes coming in next trip but they are paying their own way I understand?

What makes you think it is free?
Quarantine is about $3000 per person for the fortnight and on top of that is the airfare which even on government sponsored flights is far more than commercial used to charge pre pandemic.
I was reading recently that fares from the UK are $10000 for returning residents on commercial jets.
