Agreed. If they want to go, go. But understand you'll be at the end of whatever queue exists, no exceptions. And upfront you pay a bond to fully cover the costs of your quarantine if/when you return.

@oliverrowe8805 Personally I wouldn't be all that unhappy if the future was an Australia largely isolated from people from the rest of the world. Still be able to buy the endless cheap Chinese junk, zero immigration (the place is already overpopulated), progressively greater social cohesion, universities no longer soulless overseas student 'factories', and a return to the county regaining its own sovereignty and self-sufficiency.

@oliverrowe8805 If you tried to identify a 'Golden Period' for Australia, when would it be. Me, I'd probably say the 1960's (as long as you hadn't been drafted into the pointless Vietnam war). In the 1960's Australia was a pretty isolated, safe, full employment, affordable place to live. Ok, we may have produced some pretty crappy motor vehicle behind our high tariff wall. But we did employ a lot of people on good wages and conditions making those death traps (and other 'stuff'). A return to the future may not be as bad as people think. Are we all collectively REALLY better off with globalization. I would argue there has been as many losers as winners, if not more so.

"Why" is actually pretty easy to understand. Just look at the pressure being applied to the government from the India situation, and other people wanting to return. Imaging if that was ten times the number. That is the 'why'. I'm just explaining the reason, not supporting or not supporting the governments decision. Actually I support the right of people to go, as long as they realize they will not be returning in any great hurry and pay up front the full cost of quarantine.

Gee a tough crew here. Even a total 'get the government of everyone's back' person like me supports tight control over people coming into Australia. I'm not even scared of covid, expect to get it sometime, and expect to be less sick than if i take the vaccine. BUT ... the last thing I want to see is CONSTANT state lock-downs, and people constantly walking around looking totally stupid in ill fitting surgical masks, nonsensical can't stand but can sit in pub rules, etc, etc. That's what we'll have to endure if the virus get a run on in the community. If people want to leave, fine. But expect to go to the back of the queue to return, NO exceptions, expect to be stuck for a LONG time, and pay a bond up front to cover the FULL cost of your quarantine and testing upon return.
