WESTERN Australia’s Premier
and new Tourism Minister
Colin Barnett is looking to cut
restrictions which stop cruise
within 12 nautical miles off the
Western Australian coast.
The West Australian released
a report this morning which
said Barnett had been lobbied
by cruise operators to make
the change, a change which he
supports.
“I think if people go on a cruise,
they expect it to be open, and
why not,” he told the publication.
For the plan to become legal it
would have to be given the green
light by James Packer’s Crown
which has an exclusive right to
Shadow Tourism Minister
Paul Papalia is reportedly in
agreement with Barnett, saying
Labor supported anything to help
grow the cruising industry in WA.
