Qantas urges government to ‘safely open our borders’ in donated ad space from Nine and News Corp

September 18, 2020 10:30

Qantas has called for domestic borders to be reopened in time for the summer holidays, kicking off a campaign utilising donated print ad space from Nine and News Corp.

The campaign, which also targets customers directly via email, drives Australians towards a petition on the Qantas website that calls for ‘domestic border closures to be risk-assessed against an agreed set of medical criteria and a shared definition of what constitutes a COVID hotspot’. The petition currently has 54,000 signatures.

The ad space was donated by Nine and News Corp (click to enlarge)

Signatories of the petition are asked to provide their postcode and a comment on the impact the border closures have had on them, which will then be sent to their local MP.
