State premiers told to ‘hold the line’ and reopen borders

Tourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond has warned the failure to uphold National Cabinet’s agreement to reopen state borders will have dire consequences for the tourism sector ahead of the summer holidays. “This will be the fifth set of school holidays in a row that have been impacted by COVID,” she told Sky News Australia. “For us, it’s very important that the state governments hold the line that they all agreed to last night at National Cabinet and that we get those borders open as proposed as part of the national plan, or we really will see the sorts of failures in the industry that we’ve been experiencing for some time now and that we’re projecting for the end of this year.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
