Airfare Drive Not Enough To Save Queensland Tourism Industry 12/03/21
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is being implored to not be “trigger-happy” on border closures so that jittery travellers have confidence to book a half-price Queensland holiday, as tourism operators question if the federal $1.2bn subsidised airfare deal can save them. Queensland local councils will be given the power to change their rates and charges multiple times in a year under new laws that will extend a range of sweeping COVID-19 measures. Consumer goods giant Unilever has scrubbed the word “normal” from its shampoos, soaps and beauty products, claiming the exclusion will make it more inclusive because “normal doesn’t exist”. Around 30,000 fans are expected to fill Suncorp Stadium to watch the Bronco’s take on the Eels tonight, but the real winners are the venues on Caxton Street who are expecting huge numbers due to the restrictions being the loosest since March last year.
