It might be better than some appointments you will undoubtedly make. But what sort of tourist activities did Senator Fielding have in mind when he moved this amendment? I think these are genuine matters because there was no suggestion in Senator Fielding’s speech on the second reading or in his support of his amendment that suggested that tourist activities would be limited. So if we are going to have them specifically defined, how will they be defined and who or what area of tourism are you specifically seeking to target?
