Hundreds of former Australian embassy guards and their families were left standing in sewage in a moat for hours outside Kabul airport yesterday, before being told they could not enter because they did not have visas in their passports.

  Key points:
  • The Home Affairs Minister said the guards were approved for visas
  • Guards say they spent hours in the moat while being denied access by soldiers
  • An advocate for the guards says getting back to the airport now could be dangerous

Their shock rejection at the airport's extraction point came just hours after Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews gave a press conference in Canberra saying the guards had been approved for visas and would have access to evacuation flights.

The guards have described the conditions as horrendous, especially for their wives and children, while their advocates said the Australian Foreign Affairs Department appeared to have bungled a key opportunity to extract the men.

The group, numbering in their hundreds, later left the area fearing an impending Taliban curfew would put their families at risk.

The ABC has been given photographs showing the men standing in the faeces-filled moat next to the airport, surrounded by hundreds of people waiting to be evacuated.

Hosts and guests at an engagement party in Australia’s Melbourne were fined more than AUD$300,000 cumulatively, after police shut down the “illegal” gathering, insisting it ran afoul of the city’s ongoing Covid-19 lockdown.  

Some 56 attendees at the party, held in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield North earlier this month, were fined more than AUD$5,400 ($3,900) each, a Victoria police spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday. All said and done, the engagement gathering racked up a AUD$305,312 ($220,413) price tag for the penalties alone. 

“Victoria Police is satisfied all guests have been accou

nted for and the investigation has now concluded,”the police representative said, while the department condemned the gathering as “a deliberate and blatant breach of the Chief Health Officer directions.”
