More than 90 Australians and Afghans evacuated out of Afghanistan will arrive in Perth this morning as Australia desperately tries to secure landing spots at Kabul airport to rescue more citizens and Afghan visa holders.
Afghans wanting to board flights still face a difficult journey to the airport with a total of 12 people killed in and around the airport since the Taliban seized the city.
There are reports of the Taliban deterring people who aren’t foreigners from leaving.
Mr Morrison is facing calls from Labor, Afghan-Australians and refugee advocates to outline how many refugee places will be set aside for Afghans fleeing the Taliban over the coming years.
The Prime Minister on Wednesday announced Australia would accept an initial humanitarian intake of 3000 Afghans over the next year, but stated there would be room for more.
