Press conference - Melbourne
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thanks very much for joining me, there are two issues that I wish to convey to you today. The first is that my government will begin the assisted departure of Australians who want to leave Israel. We understand that many Australians are experiencing difficulties with delays and cancellations with commercial flights. For Australians who do not already have plans to leave through commercial options, Australian Government-assisted departure flights will depart from Friday.
