The Greens are calling on the federal government to consider purchasing Rex Airlines to ensure the continued connectivity and economic stability of regional Australia.
"The collapse of Rex Airlines would be a devastating blow to Tasmania's regional communities and our tourism industry," Greens Senator for Tasmania Nick McKim said.
"Rex is too important to Tasmania to be allowed to fail."
"We cannot afford to lose such a vital service that supports local economies, jobs, and regional connectivity."
"The federal government must step up and investigate the possibility of buying Rex Airlines to keep it operational."
"This move would safeguard essential transport links and prevent further economic disruption."
"This is about more than just keeping planes in the sky. It's about preserving jobs, supporting tourism, and maintaining the vital connections that keep our regional areas thriving."
"Federal Labor MPs and Senators need to step up and make sure the Prime Minister understands how critical Rex is to Tasmania."
