As the Senator knows, the Government has agreed to move from an emergency response to a more mainstream approach that will include a reduced reliance on serviced accommodation. In respect of many areas, the analysis has been completed. The Minister has secured a substantial extra budget allocation to support those downstream businesses.
She is identifying the work for a specific business support scheme , which will go in place to assist those businesses. I agree with much of the Senator's analysis. We need to get those rooms back into tourism use and I will reflect her views to the Minister.
