If you don't have a passport are you basically a 'prisoner' in your own country? 8-)

I haven't had one for nearly 15 yrs but don't feel like a 'prisoner', yet so many people for whom regard international travel as a 'human rite' (not 'right') and look down on anyone who doesn't all seem to have that attitude.

Interational travel is a luxury for people who are affluent and/or elite, esp. post-Vid because we're an island continent here in Oz with no direct land or short ocean connection to any other country.
