Sydney not heading for lockdown, premier says as Mother’s Day plans to go ahead; Five hurt when truck veered off Melbourne road; Repatriation flights to resume from India


The travel suspension for Australians coming home from India will end as planned on May 15, the Prime Minister has announced.

“That biosecurity order is working as exactly as it was intended to, and that will remain in place with no change until the 15th of May,” Scott Morrison told reporters in Newcastle.

“The National Security Committee of Cabinet has confirmed that it will have done its job by then, and as a result we see no need to extend it beyond that date.”

The first repatriation flight will arrive to the Northern Territory, where the “most urgent of cases” will be quarantined at the Howard Springs facility.
