The federal chief medical officer says health authorities gave no advice to impose fines and jail sentences for Australians in India who attempt to breach the temporary travel ban.

, with opponents pointing to the fact no travel ban was ever imposed on returning United States travellers at the peak of their outbreak.

"Our advice that we needed to do something about the number of positive cases coming into our hotel quarantine because of the risk of incursions."Indian-Australians are feeling betrayed and targeted by the government's 'racist' new travel measures Defending the policy on Sunday, Foreign Minister Marise Payne said it was"entirely founded in the advice of the Chief Medical Officer".

This is a typical leftist media methods to create divisions. Don’t fall for it. CCP wants to make a crack in the Indo-pacific relationship. Look at the big picture.

Put them in detention centres when they return! If they're good enough to house non-citizens, they're good enough to house everyone else.

💩 hitting the fan

Blocking returning Australians from India is like saying people who refuse to be vaccinated will not be admitted to ICU RACGP ama_media theDrum TheProjectTV insiders QandA sunrise today Mark_Butler_MP GregHuntMP

ElaineM11584892 That punitive streak is natural.

You have been played SBS, via very careful word choice from CMO Kelly. Here is a link to the letter from him to Hunt explicitly recommending criminalisation of travel from India Turns out Section 447 supplies the penalty, not the CMO. He just notes it.

LiarFromTheShire strikes again!

Thank you, AlboMP if this is the case. Please advise if there is a recovery package on offer for Australians in India to safeguard them.

Was it Dutton & Pezzullo's idea ?

It shouldn’t be surprising that health professionals cannot offer legal advice

Lib ideology point no.1: it's always easier to fine than fix.

Ooh cant wait for Sky News to go after them like they did here in Vic.

Don’t worry just keep telling yourselves the benefits $$$ outweigh the risk...🤔🤣🤣🤣Sheeple are so dumb 😎😉

lucklynn67 Nor should they. How can you have a policy that supposedly protects Australians when the same policy condemns Australians stranded in another country?

ScottyFromPhotoOps says namaste

Hmmm, LNP ruler-ship decision.

Yet Payne said he did. 🤔 LNP caught out lying again. If as Morrison &Hunt claim our quarantine is 99.9% safe why are the scared to allow Aussies in India home? 🤔99.9% safe is another Morrison lie. Front of queue for vaccine Morrison lie. I see a pattern, Morrison tells lies

what TF is brendan 'kissmorrisonsarse' murphy role in all of this?

Morrison gov’t LIED! Can you put that in your headline.

But ... but the Government said they did it based on medical advice! Golly, it ... it sounds as if they're *gasp* lying!

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen.

Let the blame game begin. Seems like a political sport of late in Australia auspol

Hunt/Morrison LIARS

Sounds like a Dutton, Morrison and Puzzullo decision that Morrison took to the Cabinet, with a 'yes boss anything you say boss' chorus from the rest of the Cabinet. I couldn't see the Prime Minister for Women doing much to contest this and the AG is too busy warming her seat.

Our government lying? Surely not

Of course they didn't, just a perfect way for the Government not to take accountability for their own decisions... which in fact, shows that they know it's WRONG.

Chief Medical Officer feared Australians could die overseas but still requested India travel banChief Medical Officer Paul Kelly conceded Australians could die overseas in a letter asking Health Minister Greg Hunt to make travelling from India an offence. Balance Absurd and fake sympathy Just like in Zombie movies: friends/family members got bitten, do you take them back to this side of the fence, or do you leave them out there to fend for themselves. It's a very hard decision. In movies, safe havens are always ultimately overrun because they have to let them in.
