FEATURE “We’ve had TAA over in China just recently, and Senator Farrell is actually going across with a delegation as well, not just for trade, but for tourism, because we really do need to see that start coming back. “There’s a few interesting things happening in the state space as well, including leave and outsource housekeeping, which we’re very dependent on in hotels. Portable long service leave is now also being legislated for the accommodation and food sector as well. So that’s a bit scary and something that we’re looking at, because that’ll start getting pushed into other states as well. “There is also affordable housing. That’s a big one happening across all of the states and everyone’s really feeling that at the moment. We’re seeing some reprieve in staffing with working holidaymakers, because we’re now slowly seeing them come back. I’m pleased to say that we’ve got over 133,000 working holiday makers back in the country, which is great. That’s only about 10% down on what we had pre-pandemic. So that’s helping us in that labour force right around the country,” he said. It’s incredible, hard-working people like Michael and the day-to-day business of the AHA and TAA that ensures our industry maintains a positive line of communication with both sides of government right across the country. Which is important, because the closer the national hospitality and tourism sector is to government, the more successes the QHA will have for its members, supporters and the industry as a whole. “I often tell people to please contact me, because they always say, ‘Oh, we don’t want to bother you,’ but that’s why we’re here. We’re here to be bothered because we need to know what the issues are so that we can be fighting the good fight on behalf of our members. “I’m looking forward to getting up to Queensland again. We’ve got committees operating up there and it’s about to be more of a joint environment, which is amazing as well. There’s great representation for Queensland hotels and there’s nothing but good things happening for the future, so I’m really excited about that,” Michael said.
