Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:22): It's very frustrating, Senator Scarr. The CEO of Flight Centre said on Wednesday: 'I think it's the most ridiculous decision I've ever seen. This is a significant blow. No other part of the tourism and aviation sector can rationalise it.' Former ACCC chairman Rod Sims also said, 'If there was a time to allow new entrants in this is it.' Minister, if all our major airlines, except one, and Labor states, competition experts and tourism industries say, 'Let them fly,' who is the government really protecting when it says this decision was in the national interest?
