Australian couple’s race home for Christmas hampered by coronavirus complications

- Almost 40,000 Australians want to get home from overseas
- The Prime Minister had wanted them back by Christmas but says the list keeps growing
- Restrictions on Australians leaving the country, including a ban on international cruise ships, have been extended
But they were sent into a panic last week when several legs into their journey, they were told a booking error by their airline meant they were not going any further.
