So it flipped the presumption rather than the airline deciding this was something that individual EU consumers could decide, which does sound better to me, Cindy.

Yeah, I think that's what consumer rights is about, right? It's giving people the option as to how they would like to get a resolution of a situation where they have their flights cancelled and whether they want to translate that into a travel voucher that they can later use or seek refund if they don't intend to travel in the near future.

And sometimes with travel during COVID, it could be that the travel plans were necessary.

at that point in time, you know, but may no longer be necessary when the borders reopen.

And in that instance, people may not have a reason to travel and getting a cash refund would make sense.

And the European Commission reminded airlines that they could not force passengers to accept vouchers if they would want a refund.

So that was very different to the situation in Australia where a lot of passengers were issued travel credits.

Would that bill, if passed, Cindy, give airline passengers a clear and simple right to a refund rather than a travel credit like they have in Europe?
