"As far as the tourism goes, I mean, especially with the Americans, I mean it's doing really well. I mean people aren't afraid to spend, they're coming in and, you know, and they're having a good time. I mean, I think people are probably going on less holidays, but when they do come out on holidays, they're not afraid to spend. They want to get out and enjoy it and have a look around and make sure that they get their bang for their buck."

"So, right across Australia what we're seeing is tourism's back to about 84% of the pre-COVID levels. So, we expect by the end, or into 2025, we'll be back at 100% of those pre-COVID levels, which is really pleasing."
