Australian man in Wuhan says many Aussies will stay rather than go to Christmas Island
Rui Severino calls proposal to quarantine Australians in offshore detention centre ‘outrageous’
An Australian man currently under lockdown in Wuhan says the government’s proposal to quarantine Australians in the Christmas Island detention centre is “outrageous” and would probably prevent many people from travelling back to Australia.
Rui Severino, a racehorse trainer from Melbourne, who has lived in China for the last four years, also criticised the Australian government for charging Australians to be transported to Christmas Island, saying he didn’t think it was a “fair move”.
