My question is to the Minister for Trade and Tourism, Senator Farrell. Recently, we have taken some significant and important steps in stabilising our relationship with China and removing some of the trade impediments that were hurting Australian businesses across a range of industries, including coal, timber and barley. In regions like tropical North Queensland, the slow return of visitors from China has held back the full recovery of the region's tourism industry. Can the minister please update the Senate on any progress towards the recovery of Chinese tourism to Australia, particularly the regions?
