One thing I want to be different afterwards #1 - THE CRUISE SHIP INDUSTRY

The cruise ship business has hardly covered itself in glory over COVID-19... read the INQ report for all the gory details. For now it is important not to throw public money at it or bail out the major companies (Carnival etc).  Post-COVID-19 it needs a heavy dose of regulation to ensure:

• cruise companies and their ships are registered in the places they actually operate, not in offshore tax havens and 'flags of convenience' countries with no regulation ... otherwise no entry to Venice, Sydney, Cape Town etc;
• staff on these ships have decent pay and conditions of work;
• companies are financially liable for any health issues they 'externalise' onto countries they visit;
• ships are smaller in both size and environmental impact.

This would have popular appeal. Of course vested interests will push back.
