Cancel rent and utility payment for non residents stuck back home due to travel ban

The Issue

COVID-19 has devastating effect around the world. Similarly, due to the travel ban there are many of us who are stuck back home as we are not citizen or PR holder. This includes people with visas such as visitor, student, 300, 485, 476, 482, 408, 407, bridging visa B, 489, 491, 188, 494, and others. We have been paying rent all the utilitybills in Australia, but have no income at the moment. This financial burden along with the pandemic situation is mentally distressing.

Through this petition we want to request Australian government to help us and cancel rent and utility payments until we are allowed to enter Australia. 

Hoping for positive response . 

Thank you .
