@dileeshus @ScottMorrisonMP you're so lucky to be your kids this Dad's day, many are separated by int'l & state travel bans so it's a real slap in the face to Aussies who can't be with their dads both young & old. @AlboMP @SenatorWong @BBCWorld @DutchNewsNL @AlJazeera_World @cnni @STcom

.@marshall_steven I thought you were smarter than this. You've abandoned Australians and PRs who can't return to #Australia because of *your* flight caps, yet you're allowing 300 international students into SA? The optics are NOT good. Ping @PMalinauskasMP @TammyMLC @susan_close

Opinion: Expats all over the world – me, in New York, among them – are suddenly finding they can no longer call Australia home. And it is a bitter experience | @SummersAnne

Under a trial program, 300 students from China, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore will fly into Adelaide in early September. Expat Australians are concerned the program will lead to a further hike in already skyrocketing return flight fares | @latikambourke

.@Birmo prepare for a backlash. Not that I have anything against international students, but @ausgov should be looking after Aussies stranded because of @ScottMorrisonMP's flight caps first. Thank you for writing this @latikambourke #auspol #arrivalsgate https://t.co/WgEQTAEKTl

In an Australian-first trial, international students will return to SA in hopes of reviving the nation's $2B education economy. Around 300 university students are expected to arrive from Singapore in September with universities footing the quarantine bill. https://t.co/GNDRUhzINT

If you fail at 50% of your university classes you will lose your government support but if you fail at every job you've ever worked the government will pay you to be Prime Minister
