On this edition of the podcast, Cory Talks Aussieland Stars from Hollywood have been moving to Australia to escape COVID-19. Most are here for work – which is fine, but what about those who are trying to dodge the pandemic as much as they can, and meantime thousands of Australian citizens have been struggling for many months to just get a flight home from where they are currently. It's not just the amount of flights, but also the exorbitant price of flights. At the height of the pandemic in 2020, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a vow to get all Aussies who wanted to come home, back by Christmas. I guess in the deflecting detail PM’s defence, he didn’t say which Christmas. While no direct fault of their own, will these celebrities and their film projects suffer in Australia, because Australian audiences may see the stars as queue jumpers? I reference this story from BBC News which was published on 3 April 2021. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-55851074 Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already and turn notifications on so you can be alerted when there’s new episodes out.
