The Territory is a great place for fishing. A lot of people know that, but if anyone's caught the new season of Territory on Netflix, you'll see how incredibly beautiful it is and how much tourism is going to be a key economic driver for the Northern Territory going forward, which is great for employment for Territorians, including First Nations Australians. With our fee-free TAFE and 20 per cent off HECS debts, there's never been a better time to get a tourism education in all those related fields that are going to make us an even better mecca for tourism into the future.

When it comes to fishing, the Million Dollar Fish competition is in its 10th season. That runs through until March next year. That means that if you can hook up a fish, a barra, that's got a $10,000 tag on it, you win $10,000. There's also 10 swimming around out there in the Northern Territory that have got a million-dollar tag on them. You can go fishing and catch a million-dollar barramundi in the Northern Territory. That's through until the end of March. I encourage anyone who's keen on fishing to come up to the Territory and to get amongst it.

Not only that, but the Northern Territory government has committed to getting rid of gillnet fishing. That means there are going to be heaps more barra swimming around in the Northern Territory. Come up and have a crack.
