Shane Masters lived offshore for 13 years and had tried twice before to move back to Australia before finally succeeding this year, prompted, in part, by the spread of coronavirus.

Masters' re-entry, it has to be said, was not particularly pleasant. In August, the lawyer-turned-investor, his wife and three children spent the obligatory two weeks in hotel quarantine in Adelaide and at one point he had $56,000 of air tickets sitting on his credit card in an attempt to secure a flight home.
