          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:54):</by>  Again, I don't have any information on that, but I am happy to make an inquiry. Of course, there are some very important public messages which are necessary and which have been necessary since the coronavirus but they will continue to be necessary. We are going through a difficult period over the coming weeks as we get to that 80 per cent double vaccination rate for those 16 and over, and ultimately we will be ending state lockdowns and state lockouts in South Australia, and so it is important that we get that public health messaging right.</text>
        <text id="2021101392a055bfc2f74bf690000597">Of course, we are not going to go to the extravaganza levels that we saw under Transforming Health, where we saw politicians' faces plastered absolutely everywhere. You couldn't walk down North Terrace without seeing that terrible logo. Everybody has forgotten what it looks like because those opposite have buried it deep, deep down, but nobody has really forgotten. Nobody has really forgotten about that incredible waste of taxpayer dollars trying to convince people of the merits of the Transforming Health campaign.</text>
        <text id="2021101392a055bfc2f74bf690000598">Not even the former health minister, the current Leader of the Opposition, will talk about Transforming Health. He did when he was in the parliament and, thankfully, we have a little clip of that when he was defending it, telling us how fantastic it was.</text>
