Mr Dick believed the cheap flights would help tourism, but believed more could be done with intrastate travel.

Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick has criticised the Commonwealth stimulus package to halve the price of flights, saying Queenslanders will not be supported to travel within their own state.
The federal government announced late last night that there would be discounted flights for 13 regions, that normally rely heavily on international travellers.
People from outside Queensland will be able to get the cheap flights, between April and July, to the Whitsundays, Cairns, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles denies Qld has a ‘trigger-happy’ approach to border closures, instead accusing the Prime Minister of hating parts of the state.
Freshly founded less than two months ago when Chatham Fire & EMS Assistant Volunteer Fire Chief
Ryan Selgren made a 30-minute call to Chatham Emergency Services District Chief
Chris Mills, this new on-the-scene nonprofit is dedicated to raising funds for first responders facing financial difficulties like firefighter
John Page. Receiving 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his upper torso, John is looking remarkably recovered and sheepish when discussing his experience.
“When I saw my face for the first time I thought my career was over. After being treated at the incredible Doctors Hospital of Augusta, I received the first set of bills that insurance isn’t going to cover. I put my motorcycle for sale and have worried about what my future would be. Seeing Ryan and Chris put this together shows that my firefighter family is truly my second family,” shares the 26-year-old.
