Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:00): I can confirm, Senator Chandler, that this government is serious about repairing all of the damage that you lot did to the tourism sector in the two or three years— The PRESIDENT: Minister Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator Chandler? Senator Chandler: I have a point of order, President, on relevance. My question did not make any reference to the previous government. It was very specifically about the advice provided from the department. The PRESIDENT: Senator Chandler, I'm going to remind the minister of your question. Minister, can you get to Senator Chandler's question? Senator FARRELL: Thank you, President. Unlike the way you treated the tourism industry in this country, we have started the process of rebuilding tourism in this country and bit by bit— Opposit ion senators interjecting— Senator FARRELL: I don't know why you want to keep talking the tourism industry down—unless your strategies while in government were part of a general strategy to undermine the tourism industry. We don't want it undermined. We want to rebuild the tourism industry that you sought to destroy. (Time expired) Senator Wong: I ask that further questions be placed on notice.
