00:00Tourist tax, I think that's got to be, again, assessed on a local basis.
00:04You don't want to scare tourism away.
00:08On the other hand, there's certain places which probably would benefit.
00:11If there's excessive tourism, then the tourist tax can maybe be able to help accommodate local populations with regards to

01:12minimum wage.
01:13At the moment, if he doesn't go, you know, if he keeps to his word what he's going to do,
01:18yeah.
01:19But if he doesn't, he's just...
01:21Well, go on. Tell them what you want to say and done.
01:23The waspy women.
01:24The waspy.
01:25Oh, the waspy women.
01:26He hasn't mentioned them, has he?
01:28And I'm one of them.
01:29The waspy women.
