"This is another ticket to recovery for Australia.
"Australia is leading the world out of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we're leading the world out of the COVID-19 global recession. And the way we've been able to do that is we've had targeted, we've had proportionate, we've had focused, we've had significant support right across the economy," Mr Morrison said.
"And now as the economy is coming back, now as we've seen more than 90 per cent of the jobs that were lost during COVID come back, we know there are still those sectors impacted particularly by the close of international borders and have been hit hard by the closure of domestic borders as well. And so as we go into the next phase as JobKeeper ends at the end of this month, together with the COVID Supplement, we go into a new phase where we'll see the economy continue to grow and continue to support jobs all around the country.
"But in the aviation, in the travel, in the tourism sectors, we know it will continue to be tough, particularly in those parts of the country most reliant on international tourism. And that's why today we have brought together, working with the sector, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Treasurer and the Tourism Minister, to bring together this package which gives a shot in the arm to the travel, tourism and the aviation sector. 800,000 tickets to ride for Australians to go out and ensure that they can experience this amazing country.
"That's what this is about. To keep people in their jobs, we've gotta put planes in the air, and we've gotta put tourists on the ground.
"The Australian tourism industry needs more tourists. They want to get on and run the businesses and welcome the tourists and provide the world-class services that they do. They don't want to stay at home. They don't want to be sitting there just receiving taxpayers' money endlessly. They want to be running their businesses. They want to be giving Australians and, ultimately, later to be welcoming international tourists to their businesses, and giving them the greatest experience that anyone can give in tourism anywhere in the world.
"We have a world-class tourism industry, and this is ensuring that they can get back to work, and doing what they do best. Flying them around the country, giving them that great inflight experience, and getting to the places where they want to go, and enjoying and having a great experience with their families. It's been a tough year. And as the economy continues to build, as we go into these next two school holiday periods, in particular, this will ensure that there are a lot of Australians who have got a well-earned break coming, and to spend that time with their families.
"And we want to give them that opportunity to do that, and while at the same time helping us to ensure that our aviation, our travel agents, our tourism operators, can get to the other side. Australians have been amazing during COVID-19. That is the rock on which we've built our recovery.
"The generosity and the resilience, the kindness and the million acts of patience that we've seen from Australians to get us through. So, here's an opportunity for a few more. The other thing we're doing today, and the Deputy Prime Minister will speak about this - it's not just the tourists, it's what goes in the bellies of these planes."
