Border shutdown: when can we travel overseas?

In last week’s federal budget papers, we discovered the government plans to keep our international borders closed until at least mid-2021.

When can we realistically begin to plan to go back overseas? We’re joined by Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews – and we ask why the government is not providing more information on the timeline for international travel. We also speak to Tim Byrnes, an Australian who fled to Russia via New Zealand.

What is the motivation for stopping us travelling? Surely, it’s the decision of the person leaving Australia

Or is it?
