Shadow Home Affairs and Cyber Security Minister James Paterson says it is “very important” for the 10,000 Australians wishing to return home from Israel to be “able to do so”.
Mr Paterson’s comments come after the Albanese government announced two Qantas repatriation flights to Israel amid the conflict for Australians wishing to come home. He raised concerns for the safety of sending flights over to Tel Aviv in Israel, saying “if it is not safe for commercial airlines to do this,” he hopes the government has “contingency plans in place”.
“Unfortunately, we all expect the security environment to deteriorate potentially quite quickly,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia.
