Does the Premier's criticism of the branding exercise mean that he is also criticising the branding exercise overseen by the tourism section of the South Australian government, the Brilliant Blend concept?</text>

As we know, all promotional messages fatigue; that is a normal and natural thing. What the Premier did was see an opportunity and believe it is timely to review our branding and to reposition ourselves, and that is a good thing to do from time to time.</text>
        <text id="20120531d70df7bc0ae1439fa0000472">As I said, our promotional messages fatigue and he believes it is time to review that, so it is a really positive thing—a very positive thing to do—that we keep moving and that we have vision and direction for South Australia, which is more than the opposition can do, as we know. They sit there bagging the state—whining, whingeing, carping, moaning—and as we know they regularly come in here with inaccurate information and misinform parliament and the public.</text>
