Prime Minister Scott Morrison has told visitor visa holders and international students the time has come to return to their home countries as the coronavirus pandemic continues.

Key points:
Mr Morrison said Australia had to focus on its own citizens and residents
He said there would be opportunities for visa holders who have critical skills that can help assist in the coronavirus crisis
There are more than 500,000 international students in Australia, many have lost their casual and part-time jobs due to COVID-19 restrictions
After meeting with the National Cabinet today, Mr Morrison said those in Australia who are here under various visa arrangements and cannot support themselves that "there is the alternative for them to return to their home countries".

"Australia must focus on its citizens and its residents to ensure that we can maximise the economic supports that we have," he said.

However, the Prime Minister stated international visitors who have critical skills could be the exception.

Hmmmm, nobody will prefer to go back to Nigeria in this Covid-19 era.

This is no good news

BIG BAD NEWS

Come back home...

Go back to where? We rather die here

They can't travel when most countries have closed their airspace. Absolve them, we dash the Nigerians amongst them to you for free.

Very good news

I was thinking along this line this morning.
When this corona virus crisis ends, countries will go hard on immigrants.
It's gonna be really bad but there will exception if you are bringing anything to the table.
Eg: Have enough economic power to pay tax/create jobs, work in the medical field or have exceptional talent.

See hypocrisy. You collected thousands of dollars from them as tuition and because of the current situation, you are now telling them to go home. I never liked this prime minister

Just an advice to foreign students who can't fend for themselves at this critical time. The palliative covers only citizens and residents. Its a well intended statement as nothing bars them from coming back when the chaos is over.
As for education,the university session is still on but every activities from lecture, assignment, test and examinations are done online.
