Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he makes no apologies for the travel ban on people returning from India as pressure continues to mount over the government s hard-line stance.
It comes as the president of Australia s peak medical body has written to Mr Morrison and Health Minister Greg Hunt urging them to commit to repatriation of vulnerable Australians in India.
