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.
