Welcome! On today's show: how far has Australia got with flying back vulnerable citizens from India's COVID outbreak? And what's this about delays in vaccinating those living in disability support care?

And then: while we were alllllllll distracted by the budget last week, the federal government (and the opposition party, tbh) took the chance to pass some pretty hardcore laws over refugees. We explain the new laws, and how and why they were rushed through.
