Tasting Australia

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:27): My question is to the Premier. Why did the Premier's image and a message from him appear in the Tasting Australia festival program?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:28): For some reason, the member for Lee thinks that the Tasting Australia program is some sort of political advertising. It is actually an excellent event that is funded by the taxpayers of South Australia. It is common practice, not only here in South Australia historically but, I would think, just about everywhere, that there would be a message from senior leaders who are commending the program to the people who are considering that event. This is exactly where we find ourselves with a petty, desperate opposition in South Australia with nothing useful to pursue, so now they are worried about messages from political leaders for the Tasting Australia—

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: The point of order is for debate?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Yes, it is, sir.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I have the question. It was respectfully about an image and what it may have appeared in, a Tasting Australia advertisement. The Premier has finished his answer.
