Using similar logic I would have thought Cairns, Townsville and Rocky would be good options. Would fill up hotels supporting an already struggling tourism industry. Long enough runways, customs, quarantine & each is a suitable divert complimenting the others. Hospitals, the works. Wouldn’t fit in line with the Chooks “keeping QLDers safe” mantra though and wouldn’t get up with North QLD MPs.
