WEATHERILL:</by>  I think this is an extraordinary display by those opposite of an unwillingness to stand up for South Australia and a willingness to join the chorus of people interstate that is simply trying to blackguard and damage South Australia's reputation. It is a disgrace. It is a disgrace, the commentary that is being led by our Prime Minister and joined in by members of the Liberal Party in the national parliament and indeed given aid and comfort by those opposite.</text>
        <text id="20170301b3e6b58b919c441fa0000368">It is a disgrace that our international and national reputation is being traduced in this way by people who have a sworn responsibility to stand up and represent the people of South Australia. So, rather than actually come in this place and add to that chorus of naysayers who are talking South Australia down, why don't you stand up for once in your life for the people of South Australia?</text>
