Sydney Airport urges states to open borders by July

Sydney Airport boss Geoff Culbert has urged state premiers to open their borders in time for the July school holidays, saying it offers many tourism operators their only hope of surviving the coronavirus pandemic., Mr Culbert warned the tourism industry was losing $1 billion a week and needed an immediate "shot in the arm".

Domestic flying would give airports and airlines the chance to "pressure test" their COVID-19 safety protocols, he said, which in Sydney Airport's case includes billboards, floor signs and public announcements encouraging social distancing, and sanitary stations. “We all agree that having two domestic airlines competing in Australia would be better than one," he said. "But in any outcome, I don’t believe that any passenger that wants to fly will be left on the ground."

pwhatch Everyone is at risk of long covid, etc. Even on most rosy outlook, all kids wont be vaccinated until at least June 2022. After that, still need quarantine & testing at international border because variants will always keep emerging. If variant gets in, we have cycle of lockdowns

pwhatch He is missing chaging people $30/h parking fee

pwhatch Yep, let economics determine public health policy. Why stop now? We've got to try and stop Australians whinging somehow!

pwhatch That doesn’t look like Geoff?
