Australia keeping its own citizens out is heartless. Particularly during a crisis. Governments have a responsibility before all of their citizens. The responsibility for this doesn't solely rest on the government either. In a country where the highest power is supposedly held by the people, the people also share in this responsibility. That's what citizenship is about. If the government can renege on its deal, then can citizens get out of their obligation to pay taxes too?

Are you even a citizen if you're not legally allowed to return to the country?
