Qld 2020 Queensland Election - October 31

[Frank Bunn]

In fact it isn’t.
Our jobs have increased.
People are spending up.
We are heading in the right direction economically.

I just tried to book an island holiday up north for next year. It took ages to get dates, a lot of booked out times.

International visitor spend in Australia was $44.6 billion last year. That's all gone.

Also gone is interstate tourism.

Apparently, occupancy rates in Port Douglas are at an all time low.

Developer says work on luxury Port Douglas hotel to start mid-2021

The developers behind a $300-million resort slated for Port Douglas say the project will go ahead, despite occupancy rates in the seaside town being at an all-time low.

How are we in Qld in lockdown?

I cant drive 150 km south of where im living. Im locked in.

in european countries not only can you travel to any state but most countries are open to travel in. The people are free. We are not.

 

[Number37]

What changed, apart from it becoming an election vote loser?

Another attempt at stating a lie as fact.
Queenslanders support the border closures.

So you want to go past the border bubble?
I can drive to Cairns or Mt Isa, we are not locked in.
Seriously, get a grip.

Entire state of Qld vs 5km radius circle...

He's copping the hard end of the pineapple mate

The definition of locked in is being able to drive anywhere in the state?

Our international borders are closed, does that mean Scum-ho has locked us in?

How many people are you willing to condemn to death if it allows you your precious freedom? 100? 200? More?

How many people will you condemn to death through politcially beneficial economic shutdown and physical/mental isolation? 100? 200? More?

Zero, because people aren't dying due to those things in Australia any more than they were before the border closures. If you're suggesting otherwise, prove it.

Australia is a net exporter of tourism dollars. Keeping international borders closed to leisure travellers will do our economy little harm, and might even give it a boost.

Seeds would refuse any culpability in such deaths.

Make them sign a waiver.

At a national level. But for certain communities reliant on international or southern tourists it will be a complete wipe out. Kind of like when a mining town loses the mine.

Like the victorian labour government?

It's a name, you don't get a choice.

You can't fly to Adelaide or Darwin and jump on The Ghan. You can't fly to Sydney or Adelaide and jump on the Indian Pacific to Perth.

You can't fly to the Gold Coast or Cairns from another state.

You can't fly to Broome or the Kimberleys from another state and drop $20k on a Kimberley Cruise.

You can't hook up a caravan or camper trailer and head off to another state.

You can't jump on The Spirit of Tasmania.

How mush is it costing having all the tourism and hospitality on Jobkeeper?

Agree the internal border closures are a problem, at least for smaller states, but I was specifically referring to international tourism.

In NSW tourism is going gangbusters, especially in regional areas. Once things open up a bit internally we will have plenty of domestic travel - international visitors may not even be missed.
