I refer to the media statement
published on 11 September 2024 titled ''Free travel for kids to Rottnest
Island this weekend''.
(1) How many registrations were
received to take advantage of this offer?

Quokka's Big Birthday Weekend event a success?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
Little Quokka's Big Birthday Weekend was a great success. There were
422 children aged between four and 12 who
travelled free to Rottnest Island, which is more than three times the average
for a weekend in September.
