Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:54): Supplementary: can the Premier then explain why there has now been a change to the tendering process for the upcoming trip to China and the use of a local film crew for that versus the process that was used on the Paris trip?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:54): A tender process is routinely used from time to time. Other times—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Other times—

The SPEAKER: There are many members of the opposition who are on two warnings; it would be unseemly to be ejected at this stage of question time.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: We reserve the right to have select processes for particular procurements. We will always reserve the right to do that. It depends on the circumstances of the case. What really galls those opposite is that, when we promote South Australia and seek to produce high-quality materials which seek to promote South Australia and talk about the good things that South Australia is producing, it has the tendency to create disappointment in the minds of those opposite. I don't know why they don't rejoice in the successes of South Australia. I don't know why they wait with bated breath every time the unemployment numbers go down, and then their shoulders slump when the unemployment numbers go down. They were warming themselves up—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: When the budget was in surplus they nearly had a heart attack.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: That's right. They get disappointed by South Australian success and when we sing it from the rooftops they get even more distressed.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: In the pause created by the point of order, I warn the member for Mitchell and the Treasurer for the first time, and I warn for the second and final time the members for Unley, Adelaide and Mitchell. The member for Stuart, point of order.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Debate, sir.

The SPEAKER: I will listen carefully to the Premier's answer. The member for Schubert.
