Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network. Produced for the 2020 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. Imagine this: you’re living in Australia on a visa but need to travel home. Whilst you’re there, Covid-19 breaks out. Borders close. Want to return to your life Down Under? Sorry mate! When Australia’s travel restrictions came into force, thousands of people who normally live here found themselves locked out. This feature speaks with just a few of the thousands of people who were affected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
