If it was in the first few months of CV then I'd agree with your logic, not after 8 months though seems much more to it. Such as 'Lord Sugar' for example. The Fed Govt puts out the spin that our International borders are closed to all but Australians, yet thousands of foreign nationals are arriving each month. Some more high profile than others (Tom Hanks & wife).
In the figures I ran through in my post a couple above - after 7 months there were only 25,000 Australians registered with DFAT as overseas. The first major peaks for virtually all countries had finished by April or May.
70% of those wanting to come (registered with DFAT) were in India, The Philipines, South Africa & Vietnam as of 31 July - yet until yesterday every media article was about a white AngloSaxon in the UK or Europe. Now we have a story about an instagram influencer stuck in South Africa.
With the latest twist, AJ asking to be paid by the Fed Govt to fly 'Australians' back home.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says international flights could recommence under a government subsidy.

Yet there are tens of thousands of empty seats flying into Australia every month that cannot be sold due to the Fed international arrivals cap & HQ. If Gladys & Co are so well organised etc - now that arrivals have to pay their way - why won't NSW revert to the cap that was in place up until July 4th of up to 600 per day (4,200/week) vs the new figure of 2,950/week?
So much double speak deliberately obsuring the truth.
Can this get more Orwellian?
