Great State Voucher Scheme

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (14:41): My question is to the Premier. Who designed the Great State tourism voucher scheme and was it the same person who authorised the 'old mate' advertising campaign?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:42): As the parliament would be more than aware, the South Australian Tourism Commission is a statutory authority and they made a decision with regard to their advertising contract. That was well underway under the previous government and under the previous minister. It was one of the first things that came to us. We did not interfere in that decision and that contract was awarded. With regard to specifically who did the work on the voucher, if it really is of genuine interest to the member, I will follow it up. It is a slightly obscure question but that is what we are used to.

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Colton has the call. The member for Colton will be heard in silence.
