Federal government urged to devise 'greater plans' to assist Australians stranded overseas | Sky News AustraliaPolitical consultant Jim Middleton is calling on the federal government to do more to assist Australians stranded overseas to return home. \n\nHe told Sky News there were about 25,000 Australians overseas “who are in various states of distress about whether they can get home or not”. \n\n“You would have thought that by now … that the federal government would have some greater plans to enable these people to get home should they wish to,” Mr Middleton said. \n\n“I think that by having, in fact, drawn attention to the terrible plight of that bereaving family in Queensland, the PM has effectively drawn attention to himself on what is not being done as far as getting Australians, who wish to, home from overseas. \n\n“I would have thought, and I expect and hope the government is redoubling its efforts as far as that is concerned.\n\n“It is now time, I would have thought, where they do do more, and if they do not I think it will come back to bite Scott Morrison and maybe Peter Dutton as well.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
