BRING BACK BRITISH CITIZENS FROM AUSTRALIA !

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We leaving our last hopes in the hands of the British government to find a solution and help as the many British citizens currently travelling or temporarily in the Australia territory.

Flights to the UK are either unavailable or a big financial and health risk to take , we need HELP !
I fell like British Citizens have took a lot of responsibilities and tried so hard to find a way to fly back to their own families , some with luck some with none.
This event has took everyone by surprise , if I can say , and left us with not many option to survive abroad , we urge the UK government or whoever is on charge , to help us , to get us home back to our families ; as we would much rather be next to our family to give them support as much as we would love to support our country.
