DOMINANT ANGLE
Australia follows closely because four Australian nationals are aboard the MV Hondius: ABC Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald cover consular efforts and family anxiety in real time
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Australian coverage is personal and direct: four Australian nationals are among the stranded passengers. ABC Australia publishes a live update incorporating consular questions — the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) stated it was 'in contact' with its nationals on board. The Sydney Morning Herald relays messages from relatives of Australian passengers, who testify via social media to anxiety and helplessness in the face of a situation beyond any control. The SMH also raises the insurance question: do travel policies cover medical evacuations from a ship refused in multiple ports?
