Reading Time: 2 Minutes Attention! Today’s post is about bringing awareness to an issue you might not have thought about – and that is the plight of thousands of Aussies stuck overseas, and wanting to come home. A big thank you to The Aussie Minimalist Doc for highlighting this issue. Although COVID-19 numbers are starting to settle down here in Australia, overseas the numbers tell a different story.
