‘It’s a tragedy’: Ongoing game of ‘border roulette’ tough on tourism | Sky News AustraliaTourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond has urged the federal government to set out a reopening timeline to give the tourism sector a reprieve from the ongoing border uncertainty.\n\nThe call comes after the Tourism and Transport Forum briefed the federal government on a $1.8 billion plan which it claims will help the sector stay afloat for the next 12 months.\n\nStakeholders in the industry said a funding boost was needed to save about 71,000 jobs and 22,000 businesses, touting the introduction of a wage subsidy scheme.\n\nMs Osmond said international border closures were a “tragedy” for hospitality and tourist attractions which rely on overseas revenue. \n\n“For those businesses that are able to move into the domestic space, that’s great, and they are seeing an uptick in business – but the best description of that is it’s a bit patchy”.\n\n“This ongoing game of border roulette where we don’t know what the date is for an international reopening and we don’t have a confirmed calendar, is creating a whole range of problems.\n\n“It’s absolutely overdue for the National Cabinet and the federal government to give the industry a timetable.” \n We have fascists running Australia at a state and federal level. Pointless doing business with Australia where it bans its own citizens from entering or leaving. Bed wetting state premiers close internal borders on a whim. Chronic corruption at all levels. It’s just too unreliable. StrandedAussies IronCurtain RemoveTheCap Snap lock downs and border restrictions are politically popular with the sheep, it has nothing to do with health!
