Back to Insiders, Spears has asked Morrison how many Australians and indeed Afghans do we still need to evacuate.
Well, it is a very fluid situation, David, and the registrations that we have are often not firsthand, and they need to be confirmed. What we are simply doing right now is getting as many people out safely with the proper checks being done both on the airfield itself and as well as back in the Emirates, to ensure that we are doing the right thing in terms ofAustralia’s national security interests, but also the right thing by humanitarian interests in the supporting as many of the efforts as we can, not just for Australian citizens, we are certainly getting Australians out and Afghan visa holders on their way to Australia, but we are also doing the same for other countries, just as they have done for us.
I need to hit pause on covering Morrison’s appearance on ABC Insiders for a moment, because Victoria Health has just released the state’s daily case numbers.
Victoria has recorded 65 new local Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours.
Reported yesterday: 65 new local cases and 1 new case acquired overseas (currently in HQ).
- 26,149 vaccine doses were administered
