The industry body has also called for the federal government to refund tourist visa fees and removing the passenger movement charge – a major revenue-raiser which generated more than $1 billion a year pre-COVID-19 – to make Australia a more cost-competitive tourist destination and drive much-needed international demand.
So Mark Birrell & the Board are happy to pay for the damages - the health costs to Australian communities ?
