It would make good economic and humanitarian sense for all Australians who are currently overseas to be offered COVID vaccinations by the Australian government.
The procedures could be coordinated and distributed through Australian embassies and save millions of taxpayer dollars, as well as keeping Australians safe while waiting to return home, if and when they so desire.
Good leadership by our state and federal representatives could make it happen.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
I’m surprised this is not happening already.
