It seems that after political calculations about the pandemic have been made, an expatriate’s passport isn’t worth much
Some expatriate Australians have expressed forgivable anger about being treated as second-class citizens throughout the pandemic.
But as the rest of the world emerges into a post-Covid world, some of us living overseas look at our country of origin and wonder if it offers us a home worth returning to.
Some may ask the question simply because they don’t have the money to come back.
My home state of Queensland is currently charging $3,710 for two weeks of confinement. With Qantas’ international flights suspended, there’s thousands to spend even before you get to cool your heels in a Marriott for 14 days.
Even for those with the means, but who still have to work for a living, two weeks in a hotel makes a visit impractical.
