The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has lambasted the federal government’s handling of the tourism industry after Treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s flying visit to Cairns.

The treasurer arrived in Cairns on March 7 to meet with local tourism operators and discuss support options for when the JobKeeper package ends on March 28. Frydenberg said a new support plan for the industry will be announced in the coming days.
