SYDNEY: Australia s prime minister fended off accusations of racism and having blood on his hands on Tuesday (May 4), as he retreated from a threat to jail Australians trying to escape COVID-19-wracked India.
Scott Morrison s government moved to ban travellers from India from entering Australia until May 15, threatening rule-breakers - including Australian citizens - with prison time.

Amid a widespread backlash, Morrison on Tuesday said that it was highly unlikely that Australians who skirted a ban would be jailed.
