Australia

[Cyph0n]

Australia even prevented citizens from leaving unless they applied for an “exception”. A complete shitshow…

[timbit42]

Yes, but now we know where to not get a passport.

[Cyph0n]

Eh, it’s still an excellent passport. Decent social safety net, visa-free entry to a ton of countries, E-3 US work visa (the best US work visa class out there), and automatic residency in New Zealand.

Is it anyway legal to refuse entry to one country's own citizens? Did Aus courts weigh in on the matter.

[jhugo]

The law is ultimately defined by the country; there is no fundamental law which could answer the question posed in your first sentence.
