The way I see it is the last 6 months or so, the airlines have been profiteering from peoples need to travel by air. If you use Per-Asp as an example, QF are currently charging $900+ return. Remember 18mths ago when you could do Lax return for just $200 more?
In my opinion the gov't is sending the money to the wrong place, they'd be better off keeping Jobkeeper going and the money going directly to the employers back pockets
