Qld border closure threatens $5 billion hit to state's tourism industry | Sky News AustraliaQueensland's border closures could stop more than four million Australians visiting the Sunshine State and could cost the state's tourism industry as much as $5 billion.\n\nPremier Annastacia Palaszczuk suggested the state's borders could remain closed until September to keep coronavirus infection rates low.\n\nTourism operators in the state have argued rates are already low and have remained so for some time.\n\nLast year, Queenslanders spent $10 billion holidaying in their own state which is often matched by interstate visitors from New South Wales and Victoria who make up the largest portion of the domestic market.\n\nSenator Pauline Hanson launched a High Court challenge over the legality of enforcing an extended border closure for Queensland with former politician Clive Palmer doing the same in Western Australia.\n\nThe High Court said both cases stand a good chance of succeeding if infection numbers continue to decline.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia The chook will just lobby the federal government for money to promote tourism. Hopefully that will teach QLD not to vote for her, or labor again. Queensland’s premiere doesn’t care she knows she won’t get elected again so she’s determined to make everyone as poor as church mice before she goes, it’s not about saving lives and we’ve already flattened the curve.
