"By offering half-priced flights to coastal destinations, the government is actually reducing the chances people will visit inland rural towns such as Moama, Balranald, Wentworth, Griffith, Leeton and Deniliquin," Mrs Dalton said

"There is absolutely nothing is this package for struggling hoteliers in this region.
