'It is sickening to see leaders there praised globally for their handling of the pandemic.'
The ‘low’ numbers of cases and deaths they boast do not include those stranded overseas who have been deserted.
My heart breaks for Indian-Australians prevented from returning home and threatened with jail time and fines. The government announced a penalty of up to five years in jail and a $66k fine for anyone who attempts to return home from India, a move they backpedaled on following a backlash. Yet they never made this policy for nations that were predominantly white. The US and UK had similar periods of high numbers of Covid-19 cases but flights were not banned in the same way they were for India.
They say their quarantine system couldn’t handle the potential threat, and instead of creating the necessary infrastructure in a country with no shortage of space, they are using this limitation and the fact the population isn’t vaccinated as an excuse to control immigration. I think this last year has been a dream come true for Australia, an opportunity to be praised for doing what they love; separating families and closing borders.
