That won’t just affect one state, it’ll affect the whole country. Iron ore is 50% of Australia’s exports, we’ve put all eggs in one basket and that basket is quite fragile, there’s a mine in the west African nation of Guinea that is planning to be outputting 10% of Australia’s total output from that one location alone in a decade.
Long term it’ll hurt the entire nation and all industries, including aviation, and even completely open borders won’t be able to make up for it.
