不公平的旅游支持计划

TheAustralian Taxpayers’ Alliance, the nation’s largest grassroots advocacy grouprepresenting taxpayers, today questioned the need for and application of thegovernment’s Tourism Support Package.

作为国内规模最大的纳税人权益保护基层组织，澳大利亚纳税人联盟今天对政府旅游支持计划的必要性和用途提出了质疑。

“The Australian government is once again arbitrarily selectingwinners and losers,” said ATA Policy Director Emilie Dye. “The Tourism SupportPackage helps specific airlines with specific routes, carefully selectedlocations, and the people who can afford to fly. This kind of inequity andfavouritism has no place in a support package.”

“澳大利亚政府再次专制地选择了受益方和受害方，”澳大利亚纳税人联盟政策总监埃米莉.戴伊说。“旅游支持计划扶持的是特定航空公司的特定航线、针对的是精心挑选的地区和那些有能力负担机票费用的人。支持计划不应有不公平和偏袒。”

“Too often certain Australians get first-class treatment while othersare left behind on the tarmac.”

“经常是某些澳大利亚人得到了一流的治疗，而其他人却被丢在停机坪上无人照料。”

“Instead of spending tax dollars on narrow subsidies, policymakersshould focus on catching Australia up to the rest of the world and vaccinatingour population. People will fly when they feel safe to do so.”

“决策者应集中精力带领澳大利亚人迎头赶上世界其他地区、给广大人民接种疫苗，而不是把纳税人的钱浪费在适用范围有限的补贴项目上。当人们感到安全时，自然会愿意乘坐飞机“。

“Right now, many Australians are reluctant to travel to other statesbecause they fear one case of COVID-19 will see them spending two weeks trappedin a hotel room with a bill they can’t afford.”

“现在，许多澳大利亚人都不愿意前往其他国家，因为他们担心如果飞机上有一例新冠病毒患者，他们就得有2周时间困在酒店房间里，这个隔离费用也是他们负担不起的。”

“If the Australian government wants to help the airline industry,they need to open up international borders. The tourists will come. Pumping upfavoured industries and companies with targeted subsidies will only stall ourrecovery.”

“如果澳大利亚政府希望帮助航空业，他们需要重新开放国际边界。游客会来的。利用定向补贴激励热门行业和企业，只会阻碍我们的经济复苏。”
