New travel laws being introduced to curb spread of Covid-19
Australian citizens living overseas could be banned from returning home under strict new travel laws, being introduced today.

The Australian Government hopes the measure will stop the spread of Covid-19, but campaigners say these new rules will separate families and prevent Australians from returning.
