In theory (i.e. the way the requirements are written) , this means Australian citizens who are foreign residents could come and go as they please. In practice though it will not mean that. Apart from being frowned upon (and potential for questioning whether the citizen is really a foreign resident), it is not really practical anyway with isolation requirements and restrictions imposed by many foreign countries on their residents travelling outside the country.
