Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended efforts to bring these Australians home, blaming hotel quarantine caps for the bulging list.

Labor is urging the federal government to stop pointing the finger at state-run hotel quarantine and do more to help isolate arrivals.

Mr Morrison believes Australia is on track to reach his goal of bringing home the 26,700 people registered in September by December.
