Locked Out (Heritage FM)

to temporary visa holders with lives in a country they are locked
out of during the pandemic.

Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the

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.
