Australia hasn’t eradicated the virus though and has botched a vaccine rollout. The federal government has relied on border control measures which include threatening Australian citizens with jail time if they try to return to their country.

This seems like an obvious expedient during a pandemic? I guess, if you can set up facilities (crucially staffing) to allow repatriation with full quarantining that may be preferable.

How would you rather they behaved? Allowing non-essential international travel is idiotic in such circumstances.
