Tim Wilson: ‘Deliberately limiting stranded Aussies return home is irresponsible’

Liberal MP Tim Wilson says states have a responsibility to accept Australians attempting to return home from international locations. “Australians have a right to come home,” he told Sky News. His comment responded to Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan’s threat to permanently cap international arrivals after a hotel quarantine breach resulting in community transmission. Mr Wilson said, “when it comes down to deliberately limiting … stranded Australians overseas I think that’s irresponsible”. “It is about a proportionate response.”
