Australia's 'top priority' is evacuating citizens and visa holders from Afghanistan

Foreign Minister Marise Payne says evacuating Australian citizens and visa holders is the “top priority” in Afghanistan but there have been issues getting to the Kabul airport. “Our officials on the ground are literally in constant discussions with the US, with NATO representatives about the best ways to move people into the airport,” she said. Ms Payne said the National Security Committee is “meeting every day” to discuss how to evacuate Australians and confirmed “over 450 people” had been taken out of Kabul. “Our continued focus is on bringing out every Australian and Australian visa holder that we possibly can and supporting those vulnerable Afghanis as well to move, if we possibly can,” she said.
