Tourism and hospitality, as I have mentioned, is a very significant industry for the ACT, and is coming off a period of record growth and opportunity. This increased global connectivity assists our city in attracting new investment from a variety of different sources, as well as new visitors and new people coming to Canberra. We all know, as residents of this city, that it is one of the world’s greatest cities to live in. Perhaps it is a secret that has been kept from the rest of the world for too long, but there is now a wonderful opportunity off the back of the Lonely Planet endorsement. These additional flights mean we will be able to share, with the rest of Australia and the rest of the world, all of the wonderful experiences that we perhaps sometimes take for granted about our city and our region. It is a very positive experience and an opportunity for our city, and one that I hope we can all celebrate.

I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
