As with local elections, where what the Government actually did is quite different from what they promised, on the issue of the tourist tax—where the Minister at the time said that he did not support it because he felt that the sector was already over taxed—the Government are now implementing it without even having the courtesy to tell the House it was coming. It is a policy that is even supported by Reform Members, and businesses in the hospitality and tourism sector will doubtless be looking to see which if any party in this Chamber is willing to stand up for their businesses.
