State Budget Advertising Campaign

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:16): I do, Mr Speaker. Thank you very much. My question is to the Premier. Will the new advertising campaign for the budget include the additional 90 million motorists who are being charged in administration fees?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:16): I don't have that information, but I am happy to come back to the house. It is a promotion of elements of the budget. It points people to the website, which provides more information to the people of South Australia. We think it's important to tell them about the key elements of our investment to grow and build the size of our economy here in South Australia, and to create more jobs. I have now information that I can provide to the house. I have been sent some information on the former government's advertising campaign in the lead-up to the last election.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order. Premier, please be seated for one moment.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: The Premier is intent on debating in his answer, and I ask that you save him from himself.

The SPEAKER: Member for Lee, you can leave for half an hour for the impromptu speech. I have been quite open to your points of order that have some merit in them, but that one is a little bit over the mark. Premier, please come back to the substance of the question.

The honourable member for Lee having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Thank you very much, sir. The question was about a particular element that was covered off in the budget and whether it will be considered as part of the education campaign that the government is currently running. As I have given in my previous answers, I will come back to the house with more information regarding that education campaign. I was going to provide the house with some information about the cost that was incurred by the previous government. I am happy to leave that out if they don't want to hear it because it seems to me that they don't want to hear it, but I am sure it will come out anyway.
