My own thoughts exactly.

My back is aching just looking at it. Slumping for that length of time is not healthy for the spine.

Sydney remains the international airport I least like having to pass through on arrival, anywhere in the world. The experience is almost always stressful, slow and frustrating. I can't see how this 'improvement' will help passengers.

And have you noticed how often vegetarian options quietly disappear in favour of vegan? I like my dairy, eggs etc vegetarian food but it is harder to come by.

It's a good start. Feeling a little envious of you Aussies as I am merely a Brit who used to travel London-Brisbane 5 round trips a year (almost all my family are in Qld, my business is in England). No hints as yet from the Fed Government or from the states for non-Aussies (fully vaxxed).
