Idatha entsha: ukhenketho lweAussie luhambe ngcono kunokuba bekulindelwe ngo-2009

Ishishini lezokhenketho lase-Australia liye lahlangabezana nokudodobala kwezimali zehlabathi ngo-2009 ngcono kunokuba bekulindelwe, ngedatha entsha ebonisa abakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe behla kancinci.

I-Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) idatha ephume ngoMvulo ibonise nje i-1700 yabakhenkethi abambalwa bamazwe ngamazwe abandwendwele i-Australia ngo-2009 xa kuthelekiswa no-2008, bechasa ukuhla okuqikelelwayo kwihlabathi jikelele kukhenketho lwamazwe ngamazwe ngeepesenti ezine.

Kodwa inani labantu baseOstreliya ababesiya phesheya kolwandle lenyuka phantse ngesiqingatha sesigidi, bedlula abo bafikayo.

Umlawuli olawulayo wezoKhenketho e-Australia u-Andrew McEvoy uthe amanani – aquka iinzuzo kunye nokuwa kwiimarike eziphambili ezahlukeneyo – aqaqambise ukomelela kweshishini.

"Ngaphandle kwengxaki yezemali yehlabathi kunye nokuqhambuka kwentsholongwane ye-H1N1, ukhenketho lwase-Australia lukwazile ukwaphula amanani abakhenkethi bamazwe aphesheya, bechasa ukwehla kwehlabathi kulo nyaka uphelileyo," utshilo kwingxelo.

"Ezi ziphumo zibonisa izicwangciso ezisebenzayo zokunciphisa impembelelo yeziganeko zehlabathi kuhambo oluya e-Australia kulo nyaka uphelileyo zisebenze kwinqanaba."

Umnumzana McEvoy uthe ukugqiba okuqinileyo kulo nyaka kusemva kwesiphumo esingcono kuneso besilindelwe kwaye iTourism Australia iza kusebenza neshishini ukubuyisela amanani amazwe ngamazwe ekukhuleni ngo-2010.

Iindleko zeenqwelo-moya eziphantsi kunye nezivumelwano zexabiso elikhulu zokuhlala zineempembelelo ezibalulekileyo kumashishini asezantsi, watsho.

"Uqikelelo ekuqaleni kuka-2009 lube lokwehla kokufika kwamazwe ngamazwe nge-4.1 yeepesenti ngoko ke ukubamba ngokuzinzileyo sisiphumo esihle," watsho.

Kodwa de yafikelela kuma-30,000 imisebenzi kwishishini echithiweyo njengoko abakhenkethi bezabalazela ukuhlala behamba, utshilo.

Umnumzana Gale uthe iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba imfuno iphakame, kwaye abathunywa bendibano, abakhenkethi beeholide kunye nabahambi ngezoshishino bakhule ngoDisemba.

Kodwa ukukhula okumangalisayo kwabantu base-Australia abahamba phesheya “yayiziindaba ezimbi” kurhwebo, njengoko oko kwakuthetha ukuba iOstreliya ngoku yayisele ingumrhwebi obalulekileyo wokhenketho.

Kwisihlandlo sesibini kuphela kwiminyaka engaphezu kwama-20, abakhenkethi base-Aussie abalishiyayo ilizwe babebaninzi kunabakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe abafikayo, izibalo zibonise.
