But back to the topic before someone attempted a but, but, but, National! diversion.
Had these people travelled to Australia just for a holiday then sure perhaps they should have expected to take ownership of that that decision. However from the now multiple stories it is clear that many travelled for life events and have been trying to return home.

Why is it that it appears that hasn't filtered through to the departments that oversee these decisions?
