17.01.2022 The Australian government has released a comprehensive list of FAQ for those here on temporary visas. It is quite exhaustive so we've included a link here. It is fair to say that backpackers and sponsored workers should not expect financial support from the Australian government.

08.01.2022 Great initiative by Troubadour Presents. Free online concert on May 23 and what a line-up. Damien Dempsey, Declan O'Rourke and Mundy among others.

Irish Australian Support Association of Queensland, Irish Support Agency NSW Inc., Irish Australian Support and Resource Bureau, Claddagh Association.

05.01.2022 Great job by Troubadour Presents to pull together this live music event to support Irish welfare agencies in Australia. Enjoy the great music and don't forget to donate.

04.01.2022 Australia's preference for bringing in more and more temporary residents to create a 'flexible' workforce and fill gaps in the labour market has backfired on thousands of skilled workers. Irish temporary residents, particularly those with children, have been left in a dreadful bind by the pandemic. The Australian government has essentially cut them loose, disingenuously claiming that they were only allowed in on the priviso that they could look after themselves. They are not covered by the Australian government's JobKeeper scheme or entitled to welfare. The Irish government's response seems focused only on extreme hardship cases. So many are forced to abandon their careers and lives and just leave. Good story here by Kate Nic Dhomhnaill in The Irish Times.

03.01.2022 Perfect shutdown viewing. Don't miss Normal People on Stan., an adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel, directed by Lenny Abrahamson. Beautifully acted and directed and a visual treat for Irish eyes, set as it is in Dublin and Sligo. Brilliant TV. https://youtu.be/ODYjA9H4qcw

01.01.2022 A young musician is one of five Irish nationals stuck on board the ill-fated Ruby Princess. Kate Heneghan is desperate to get off the ship before it sets sail from its current berth at Port Kembla, south of Sydney.
