Airports demand urgent border processing upgrades
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Airport and tourism industry leaders are demanding urgent federal funding to modernise Australia's border processing systems, citing lengthy queues at passport control in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports. The group wants more of the $70 arrival tax redirected to border infrastructure, including biometric technology and digital passenger cards, to replace manual passport checks. Representatives from Australia's three largest airports and tourism bodies warn the country is falling behind international standards ahead of Brisbane 2032.
