Unfortunately the Victorian situation although not unexpected has set the aviation cause back a number of months.
Months? Maybe a year or two. Victoria's share of Australian GDP is about 25% plus the effect it has on other states GDP by not functioning. It's not simply a case of it's residents having another 6 weeks at home, it's cancellation of business, business confidence, is it going to happen again? What business would ramp back up to have this bull**** happen again. The airline industry is an immediate casualty of this mess. For others it will be a slow burn, others still, immediate. Plus the unseen effects, mental health etc.
He is incompetent and has now cost the economy billions.
