Carl's Story

Carl's Story

Carl had been living in the UK since 2005 but came back to Australia regularly to visit his mother – who lives in Queensland – and to take care of his tenanted property. When his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in July 2020, he scrambled to get home. While he found a flight back, the Queensland government refused him entry because his mother's impending death wasn't "a sufficient reason". Fast forward a year, and the Queensland government permitted his entry because his property needed repair and it satisfied their "financial need" criteria. And then the horrors of hotel quarantine. This is Carl's story.
