Keogh said the government was actively monitoring the situation, noting 119 Australians were able to leave on a special Australian Defence Force flight from Tel Aviv late Tuesday night.</p><p>Australians that are still looking to leave will be able to find more regular ways of getting out. And as the ceasefire has taken hold and continues that should see a return to more ordinary transport operations.</p><p>We’ll obviously keep monitoring the situation to make sure that we’re actually seeing that return to regular transport options, but that’s what we are starting to see progress. And so, if military repatriations aren’t required any more, then we would obviously bring that to an end. But we’re not yet at a stage where we’d be able to do that.</p><p>The Agreement comprises a raft of outputs and initiatives that aren’t connected to each other or to an overarching strategy. In its current form, it cannot deliver the systemic, coordinated change it promises.</p><p>The consumers, carers and service providers we spoke with told us of ongoing challenges accessing and affording care and of uncoordinated services that do not respond to need.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2025/jun/25/australia-news-live-richard-marles-nato-israel-iran-trump-anthony-albanese-lattouf-abc-labor-coalition-ntwnfb">Continue reading...</a>
