Out of a job and soon to be homeless, an Australian man who has been unable to home from Singapore since last month has lashed out at Canberra and Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
After writing in an op-ed that Australia’s strict travel restrictions had left him “stranded, homeless and jobless,” Rob Colligan told Coconuts Singapore today that he had not heard anything from the government he accused of not caring for citizens like him stranded abroad.
“Nothing from the Government. More media enquiries though… And no changes to our situation so far,” the 54-year-old Melbourne man said.
