Subscriber only But Dawson MP George Christensen has hit back, questioning why the State Government s $200 travel vouchers were not extended to the Whitsundays. Last week the Federal Government revealed 800,000 discounted tickets would include return flights from Sydney to both Proserpine and Hamilton Island between April 1 and July 31. Discounted flights are not on offer for Mackay Airport. In parliament, Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick questioned why so many Queensland destinations, including Mackay, were left out.

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.
