They claimed economic damage caused by the Qantas decision to slash flights between Japan and Cairns highlighted the Government's failure to address the needs of the rest of the state.
"I certainly feel we have been dudded," businesswoman and Commerce Queensland president Beatrice Booth said.
"The Government should have been better prepared for this situation. It certainly shows they don't know what is happening in this part of Queensland."
