A second Qantas flight could be dispatched to Wuhan to pick up Australians still stranded in the coronavirus outbreak. PM Scott Morrison said the government was working with the the Chinese authorities "on a possible second assisted departure flight" for Australians seeking to leave Hubei province in central China. The announcement came as China expressed anger at Australia's recent travel ban, saying it was not "not given enough time to be alerted". Wang Xining, Minister and Deputy Head of Mission at the Chinese Embassy in Australia, said the short notice resulted in dozens of Chinese citizens - mostly students - stranded at airports. "We are not happy about this situation because they were not alerted - there's not enough time to be alerted about the restriction," he said. The Australian government was discussing with New Zealand the option of its Air New Zealand flight picking up the Australians still stranded in Hubei province. "We are also working with the New Zealand Government to access seats on their plane, subject to availability," Morrison confirmed Tuesday. Foreign Minister Marise Payne said Australia would continue to prioritise the departure of the most vulnerable and isolated Australians.<br/>
