In Australia, Obama Criticizes PM Abbott for Closing Borders Over Ebola

President Obama appeared to criticize Australian prime minister Tony Abbott for closing borders to Austrlia due to concern over Ebola.

“[W]hat we’ve learned from the Ebola outbreak is that in this globalized world, where the Pacific is like a lake, if countries are so poor that they can’t afford basic public health infrastructure, that threatens our health,” Obama said in a speech at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, according to a White House trancript of the event.
