Rewards Wonder Campaign

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:04): Supplementary: how much of the streaming has the minister actually watched himself, in minutes?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:04): I thank the honourable member for her question. I saw probably about an hour and a half in Federation Square because I had a little bit of time to kill and was just happy to sit and watch as people went past. I logged on over that five-day period at various times. I don't know what time limit the member expects me to see. It was five days of continuous streaming. It was to pique people's interest. It has piqued 2 million people. We now have their data captured by the Tourism Commission and we can now market direct to them.

I would say, collectively, probably about three hours. I watched it at home in the evening when I was able to get home and had time from my busy schedule to sit and watch it. I watched a little bit on my iPhone in the car. I am trying to watch as much as I can. As you know, we all work very hard. I do need to sleep a little bit of the time. I have seen a significant amount of it and I have seen quite a lot of the little snippets that the Tourism Commission briefed me on prior to its launch. So I have seen little bits of the whole five days, but when it comes to actual hours and time, maybe two to three hours, I suspect.
