Mr McCORMACK (Riverina—Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development and Leader of the Nationals) (14:54): I thank the opposition leader for his question. We have committed $2.7 billion of assistance for the aviation sector, and we've done it on a sector-wide basis. We've made sure that we maintain minimum—I would say essential—air services across Australia, including more than 400 return flights per week to more than 120 locations, of which 110 are regional and remote. Seventy operators who have been given assistance and who have accessed assistance and rebates under the sector-wide aviation assistance include aeromedical, and charter flights for fly-in fly-out. This has been important. This has actually kept, for those regional communities—indeed, for the people in them—the ability to fly around the nation. This is so important, and I'm proud of the aviation assistance we've provided. Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker— Mr McCORMACK: And I've concluded my answer. The SPEAKER: The Deputy Prime Minister has indicated he's concluded his answer.
