Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended the government s tourism and airline support package, saying that it was designed to help parts of the country that were hardest hit by the closure of international borders. He did not rule out extending the program to include destinations in the regions. Speaking at a Qantas maintenance hangar at Sydney Airport on Thursday morning, the prime minister responded to criticism the program was too Queensland-centric and was leaving regional NSW behind, saying this isn t about interstate politics. This isn t about arguments between premiers, this is about jobs for people on the ground. Prime Minister Scott Morrison at Qantas Hangar 96 at Sydney Airport. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Dylan Coker
