The CEO of Sydney Airport has appeared to suggest Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is keeping her border shut to NSW purely for “self-interest”.
South Australia’s Premier, Steven Marshall, has said he’s hoping to open his border to NSW as early as this week.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce appeared to hint more jobs could be lost in his foreword to the business’ annual report.
Queensland will open its border to the ACT on 25 September – but will still keep in place restrictions for those travelling through NSW.
Queensland’s decision to reshut its border to NSW caused Sydney Airport’s passenger traffic to plunge 70 per cent.
More than 40,000 people have now signed Qantas’ petition urging states to open their borders ahead of a crucial national cabinet meeting on the topic.
