Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the government’s $1.2 billion tourism stimulus package was not enough and Australians needed a comprehensive jobs plan.

As part of the package 800,000 discounted airline tickets will be made available to Australians in a bid to restore the tourism, travel and aviation industries.

“We got some subsidised airfares and I think most people have concluded that waving around a mocked up plane ticket and dressing up as a pilot is no substitute for a proper jobs plan that recognises we’ve got two million Australians unemployed or unable to find the hours that they need,” Mr Chalmers told Sky News. “We’ve got stagnant wages, we’ve got pockets of struggling businesses and workers around Australia. This just doesn’t go near far enough to deal with all of those challenges.

That's damn right. How's Alan Joyce going to rip another $21m in salary of of Qantas with that meagre spend?

AlboMP does not have what it takes to lead Australia through the current economic, social and growth issues

JEChalmers is a lot like AlboMP all talk and nothing substantial on what they would do, but I guess when swann is your mentor there is never enough spending.

It's a rort. Big buisness corporate welfare. The ultimate in trickle down idiocy. Don't support workers. Don't inject money into towns or communities. Don't give tourists vouchers to spend IN these destinations. No, fund the mega corporations instead And QANTAS pays zero tax!
