Nausheen Khatoon moved to Australia more than 20 years ago but has now been told by the government she cannot return or risks jail time. 'I fear if I fall sick now, I won't be able to reach a doctor or get proper medical help in India now,' Ms Khatoon told Nine. Ms Khatoon feels she's being punished despite working tireless hours through Melbourne's prolonged coronavirus crisis in Covid facilities. 'The news, the statements given by the Prime Minister, everything contradicted my statement explaining how great my country Australia is,' she said. Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese slammed the Morrison government's handling of the situation, describing it 'extraordinary' Ms Khatoon would face jail time for trying to return home.
