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.
If you need urgent help
Emergency Assistance and Support by the Australian Government.
Over-the-phone support and information during the coronavirus pandemic.
If you are in need and feel you need help, do not hesitate contacting the appropriate organisations.
Senate Select Committee on COVID-19
I was asked by the Senate Select Committee on COVID-19 to give evidence at the committee's public hearing on Thursday, 24 September 2020, 11:25AM to 12:05PM AEST, via videoconference.
The audio is not in sync, which is annoying, but nothing I seem to be able to do about it.
About me
Connect with me
Running this site 24/7 for over 5 weeks, I am running a bit on empty.
I am settling in The Netherlands for the next 3 months at least, as returning to Australia isn't feasible short term. Connect with me on LinkedIn and let's talk if I can help with something awesome you're working on!
Support
If you are in urgent need of support, please contact the The Consular Emergency Centre.
If you can offer any kind of support to people who are stranded, or need support yourself, please join our closed Facebook support group.
Unfortunately I can no longer respond to, nor coordinate the generous offers that I receive directly. - Thank you all so much!
