LUCAS (15:13):</by>  As a supplementary question arising out of the answer, given the Premier's significant criticism of the minister's branding exercise can the minister assure the house that there will be no further expenditure on the Brilliant Blend branding exercise until the results of the Premier-initiated review on branding has concluded?</text>

So, his assertion that I had misled parliament was completely incorrect. He owes me an apology but, of course, doesn't have the courage or the backbone or the fortitude to get to his feet and be man enough to offer me an apology. No, no; what we see him doing is whingeing, whining, carping, moaning and continuing to bring misinformation into this place.</text>
