My question is for the Minister for Trade and Tourism, Minister Farrell. The government has updated the THRIVE 2030 strategy to invest in and increase the visitor economy in Australia. In this document, there's considerable mention of increasing the First Nations tourism sector, which is welcomed. However, it's important that when we invest in First Nations tourism we ensure that our cultural heritage is protected and First Nations people are beneficiaries of this investment, especially considering the recommendations of the Juukan report. My question is: how will THRIVE 2030 protect First Nations cultural heritage as the First Nations tourism sector grows?
