I'll ask the minister for tourism to respond further to my answer. Our response to the travel agent sector has been in the order of over a quarter of a billion dollars in additional support—over and above what has been provided through JobKeeper, which goes until the end of this month.

In addition to that, one of the key things we've been working on with the tourism and travel sector is to ensure that the discounted flights that have been made available in the new travel package will be combined with other product packages, packaged up together, and distributed and sold through the travel agent network. When tourists are travelling and we can get them to travel agents, then travel agents, of course, benefit.

There is also a significant further round of support being provided to travel agents, and I'll ask the minister to add further to the answer.
