Brand South Australia

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:02): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment on funding for Brand SA.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Earlier today, the minister told this chamber that no decision has yet been made about funding for Brand SA. The minister went on to say that we will find out about that funding in the budget. We understand that a decision has already been made and is already being implemented. My question to the minister is: has the minister deliberately misled this chamber, or does he genuinely not know that the Premier has made a decision about programs within his portfolio?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:03): I answered the question around the Joyce review that we have a different approach to how we market and promote South Australia, and I do not have anything further to add at this stage, other than: wait until 18 June.
