In addition to the above, i believe there should be clearer information on the government website, greater flexibility for those who have dual passports, and an easily contactable team to clarify information and ask questions to.

The closure of borders to dual citizens is unduly distressing and causing mental health issues. The exemptions for compassionate reasons need to be extended.

I fully support this ! Like many people, I am a dual EU citizen and was almost finished moving to Austria to be with my partner when the border restrictions came in. I absolutely cannot see what the problem is for any dual citizens wanting to leave to return to their other country of residence if they have no plan to return. It's immoral .

My parents live in Canada and I married an Australian citizen. I have been in Aus 9 years and in that time we have started a little family. My parents and siblings live in Canada and my mom has stage 4 breast cancer. I’m hoping the travel ban will be lifted so my sons can see their grandmother before she passes.

I understand why Australia has put these boarder up, however I think people should be allowed to leave if the intention of leaving is not for tourism but work, study, visits and so on. If people were to leave on visits and had to return for whatever reason, I think it would be reasonable for the to pay for themselves the 2 weeks hotel quarantine. But keeping us locked in our own country with not even a chance or opportunity to allow us to leave is just unfair

The ban hit mere weeks before my fiancé and I were due to permanently relocate to be together. Now I have no idea when I will be with him again. We had both quit our jobs and left where we living in order to move to Japan together. Now our lives have been completely derailed, paused and are spent in constant anxiety. The parameters and criteria of this ban are too vague and brutally severe. How is it a football team can enter Australia, but not those with lives and families based there? It’s not right. Australia has become a prisoner nation once more.

One additional point of note is that Australia is almost alone in the world with its international departure ban for citizens and permanent residents. Even New Zealand, which Australia often compares itself with, never had a departure ban even at its highest level of lockdown. Nearly all countries have issued a travel advice but have not imposed a legal ban. This is a serious curtailment of our basic freedom of movement and is causing untold distress for many international families. We all understand the need for quarantine upon return and are happy to cover any costs involved.

We feel that the strictness on travel for compassionate cases is doing no good for mental health, as we are not trying to travel for any reason other than to see our loved ones. We believe this has gone beyond the level of protecting at risk Australians and now is just restricting our civil liberties. We understand the need to maintain some restrictions. This is why we are pushing for more flexibility, not a blanket removal.

As a permanent resident with an elderly mother on her own & in need of assistance it's so distressing for both of us that I am unable to leave (seems near impossible to get an exemption for compassionate reasons). If students are allowed in, obviously for economic reasons we should be able to leave, have some compassion, please. Happy to quarantine at own expense on return.

The Australian people should be given the respect they deserve to make an informed and appropriate decision to travel. We don't need the government to make this decision for us. Yes, protect the Australian population from Covid-19, off-set the costs of quarantine to those who choose to leave. But let them choose. Familes are being torn apart and those scars will run deep and I suspect the mental health costs will far outweigh two weeks in a city hotel.
Think, respect and empower your people to make an informed decision. Don't use paternalism.

Please let my daughter come home to England. She hasn't seen her family for over two years. Her dad is ill in a carehome. Her brother is getting married in a few months. It is criminal to deny people their freedom and totally unjust if you are allowing foreigners to come in. What's the difference?
