Jim CornallHOST
What kind of people do you... get on expeditions to Antarctica? I assume that it varies, but is there kind of a typical person that would choose these vacations?

Amanda HunterGUEST
I think for a long time, Antarctica was a destination that was reserved for the elite, the 1%, the people who can afford it, the kind of end of life retirement goal.

Amanda HunterGUEST
And I think we saw that in the type of people that have been visiting Antarctica for the past two decades.

Amanda HunterGUEST
The wave moving, I guess, moving the industry into being able to offer a product that's more accessible to more people.

Amanda HunterGUEST
So we're seeing a lot younger people, at least in our bookings, and we're seeing... actually more female than male, which is interesting.

Amanda HunterGUEST
We haven't, that's not historically has been the case, but we're seeing more younger people, a lot of working professionals.

How do you as a company and as a part of an industry minimize the potential for environmental impact?

George FieldingGUEST
But what we need to scrutinise is how the fact that everybody who is a proponent of this bill seems to either be coming at it from a position of privilege or trauma without realising the collective harm that would be made to the vote, and I don't like the word, but the most vulnerable in society.

Amanda HunterGUEST
Picking up on a couple of points you made, I totally agree, obviously, that this does apply to disabled people for the very reasons that you explained.

Amanda HunterGUEST
And it's something that Tani Grey-Thompson, as a disabled peer, has brought up many, many times also in her evidence.

Amanda HunterGUEST
And she was sitting with you, Ken, and with Alistair from the ECHR, who was there also.

Amanda HunterGUEST
But Tani was there and she brought up a couple of very pertinent points around this, particularly around, for example, cystic fibrosis, which people would come under the eligibility criteria.

Disabled people are struggling to get their voice heard because it's inconvenient for the state to actually fess up and do their job properly, which is ensure at all times that disabled people are treated equally and fairly and with the same respect as everyone else.
