Rules are rules the Prime Minister declared, especially when it comes
to our borders. Rules weren't rules last year, when celebrities
travelled to and from Australia while ordinary people were denied a
permit to leave, or even more scandalously, not afforded the most
basic right of a citizen to return to their country. Now though, when
Australia chooses to insist on a medical procedure as a condition of
entry to Australia the rules are suddenly rigid.
