It is “not good enough” for there to be tens of thousands of Australians who continue to be stranded overseas and unable to get home, says Sky News host Alan Jones.
“The government’s defence is that it has provided $29 million to fund 3,900 Australians coming home, despite 5,000 being assessed as vulnerable,” Mr Jones said.
“But there are Qantas and Virgin planes parked all over Australian airports, empty”.
“We seem to have money for everything, rent them, hire them, bring Australians home.”
