I Choose SA

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My question is to the Premier. Has the I Choose SA campaign been defunded as well?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:48): All these issues will be dealt with in the upcoming budget, but it's fair to say that we did commission, and have now received, the Joyce review into the operation of trade, tourism and investment in South Australia. Our focus in South Australia will be on putting our money towards promoting South Australia in interstate and overseas markets. The previous government had a single focus on promoting South Australia, particularly in the lead-up to elections. That was one of their favourite areas of exposure. They would often promote tourism opportunities to come to South Australia in cinemas in South Australia just before an election.

We thought it would be better to promote coming to South Australia to people who weren't living in South Australia, and it is fair to say this will be our focus. We have an ambition for South Australia. We want to grow the size of our economy. We want to bring more people from interstate and overseas. We want to bring more investment dollars from interstate and overseas and so we will be doing everything we can to promote those opportunities outside of this state.
