PROTECT THE RIGHT OF STRANDED AUSSIES
There are thousands of Australians stranded overseas, unable to come home, due to travel restrictions related to COVID-19. This includes many families that have been separated, and others unable to be with sick and dying relatives.
Who would have thought that when I started this website we would end up with an actual Amnesty campaign to support our case?
Not saying this is entirely my doing of course, by any means, but the fact that we now have support from Amnesty International should really wake up Scott Morrison and the rest of Government.

About me
Connect with me
Running this site 24/7 for almost 4 weeks, I am running on empty.
I am settling in The Netherlands, as returning to Australia isn't feasible. Connect with me on LinkedIn and let's talk if I can help with something awesome you're working on!
I have been unemployed for the better part of 2020 and still am. Maintaining and hosting this site costs me a lot of time & money. Your contribution is much appreciated!

Due to the site’s unexpected success, I need your support to keep the site running. I've made initial significant investments for domains, hosting and software and have ongoing costs on the map. I still have no intention to make any profit, but I do risk getting into financial trouble.
