Business Council of Australia
Australia’s leading industry groups are calling for Parliament to vote on the IR Omnibus Bill this week and for all Senators to support it.
There is no valid reason why the Bill should be delayed. The certainty that these reforms will deliver is needed urgently to boost confidence, investment and job creation to complete the recovery and help put the economy on track to generate higher incomes and sustained growth in the future.
A failure to vote on the Bill will increase uncertainty and stifle business confidence at the worst possible time – just before the JobKeeper scheme ends and as businesses are making critically important decisions on whether to retain staff.

Airports stuck on slow and staggered flight path

The number of people flying in and out of Sydney Airport jumped to its highest level since the outbreak of COVID-19 in December because of a 10-day period when most travel was unrestricted nationally before states slammed their borders shut again.
Sydney Airport had 659,000 domestic passengers passing through in December, more than double the number in November, and the most since March, when 1.3 million travellers took to the skies.
The numbers of people flying through Sydney Airport doubled in December compared with November after most borders opened.

The opening of the West Australian border to travellers from NSW and Victoria without requiring them to quarantine from December 8 helped increase flights through the airport.
