"It’s sadly very unlikely that our health crisis is likely to facilitate an opening to international travel this year," Senator Birmingham Minister for Tourism told The Australian Financial Review.
There goes my plans for returning soon blown out of the water.

love it;;;

Australia’s trade minister said yesterday that the country is unlikely to reopen its borders to international arrivals until some time in 2021, but will look to relax entry rules for international students and other long-term visitors. The country has been largely successful in containing the spread of Covid-19, success which it attributes to curbs on international travel and tough social distancing rules.

“We are pulling out all stops to welcome back our continuing international students to campus, and to the vibrant Canberra community, as soon and as safely as possible.”

They then contact the airport your departing from and let them know you can travel.
So to answer you, I'd say some government official
I just had beers last week with a friend of mine I haven't seen in years, his English girlfriend is now 5 months pregnant. He came over to Australia in March to see his family, he has been denied an exception to travel out of Australia but Chinese students are going to be let back into the country as soon as next month.
If your friend is now living in England tell him to write to government stating this he should get the ok to go home to England, that's the easy part , now getting a flight that's hard, I've had the ok to go back to Cambodia since April

May I ask how you proved you live in Cambodia?

Permission to leave the country - very odd. The thought I would have to explain and justify my desire to leave, to a government official, would make me want to leave in itself. I would have laughed at you had you suggested such a thing 6 months ago.

I understand that the AG don't want news stories of whinging citizens getting stuck abroad, but anyone leaving now and getting stuck would not make the news save to say they were bloody idiots to leave in the first place - no political capital expended in ignoring them.

I am surprised that Australians are putting up with it but I suppose there are so few wanting to leave, and so many tuned into the 'Nanny State Knows Best' mindset, the battle is already lost.

The issue of letting students in for the money is irrelevant and just muddies the water. This is a simple intrusion into a fundamental human right in a free society of freedom to leave the country. This is not a matter of state security, there is no war. There is an external threat and you leaving does not alter anything.

A simple document, a waiver if you like, of a suspension of your right of re-entry without stringent and expensive state controlled quarantine on your return, should suffice. If you want to be so 'bloody stupid' then that is your right; like smoking.

I sincerely hope this changes for you all, and very soon.

With the number of Aussies out of work and in receipt of benefits plus the covid-19 supplement $$, they need the imported student's $$ as well as the $$ from exporting more iron ore to China to pay for the welfare $$.

Can't follow the government logic here. It would appear that the Trudeau creature is stoned out of his mind on the medical marijuana or has motives that he won't disclose.
So Paul, Trudeau does indeed have a love affair with the Chinese.
As for provincial travel bans, seems crazy to me that a Canadian cannot freely travel within their own country. As for the American boarder being closed. I hear there are still Americans getting into Canada via BC on the grounds that they are heading to their vacation home in Alaska then they never go.

As a matter of interest, Trudeau's Minister Foreign Affairs, namely François-Philippe Champagne, currently owes that Chinese state owned Bank of China $1.2 million on two mortgages on London UK properties when he was working in the UK and before he entered politics. The properties are in Shoreditch and Bayswater. Further, Champagne has stated in 2017 to a Chinese state-backed TV station that China is “a beacon of stability, predictability, a rules-based system, a very inclusive society”.

Trudeau, in full knowledge of all this, has taken no action against Champagne.

This would suggest to any thinking person that Trudeau not only approves of his ministers being indebted to foreign state owned businesses but that he has no problem with Champagne's adulation of a government not adverse to using all kinds of leverage to expand its influence, including threats and bullying to intimidate and silence activists in Canada (Amnesty International).

I have no information regarding Americans entering BC to transit to their properties in Alaska, but remaining instead of continuing onwards. Wouldn't surprise me but quite frankly I don't see the advantage to staying in expensive BC.

The lack of freedom for inter-provincial travel is troublesome for many Canadians. I expect that it will be resolved by the courts in due time.
