The Federal Government will help evacuate the hundreds of Australians stranded on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan. More than 200 Australians stranded on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan will be flown back to Australia. Returning Australians will have to spend two weeks in quarantine in Darwin before returning home. An Australian Medical Assistance Team (AUSMAT) is scheduled to depart this evening and will aim at collecting and returning all 209 people stranded off the coast of Japan on the Diamond Princes cruise ship.
