I can't find the article online but there was an interesting news piece in Today's Sunday Mail page 19.
Queensland could lose a vital international air service between Cairns and Darwin.
Qantas owned Jetstar is threatening to scrap its daily service between Singapore and Cairns via Darwin if legislation proposed by Independent South Australian goes ahead.
The changes would force Jetstar to pay its foreign crews the same rates as Australian staff would make the route unviable.
The biggest shock I can see from this legislation if it goes ahead is removal of the Jetstar International services between Sydney and Melbourne and reverse.
There is large number of domestic only passengers on this route which has a lot of foreign cabin crews operating the service.
