Mr Morrison defended the $4,300 an hour spent on a private plane, saying:

If Mathias was flying around on commercial planes, he would have got COVID. The risk of that was extremely high.

Can the minister explain to the nearly 37,000 stranded Australians why Mr Morrison believes it's acceptable for them to fly commercially, at hugely inflated prices, and face the extremely high risk of contracting COVID-19 but it's not okay for a former member of his government?
