Tourism Advertising

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:30): Supplementary question: what number of local people were employed on this campaign? Where is the local office and when did it open?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:30): I don't have the actual number of local people, talent and others who might have—but I certainly will take that question on notice.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Why would I know how many people were in the advertisement and whether they were extras, whether they were actors, were they—what a crazy—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, through me.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Mr President, what an uneducated, dumb interjection. I will take those particular facts on notice. The office was opened sometime last year. It is in Rundle Street. TBWA is a global company that I think has an Australian head office in Melbourne, an office in Sydney, an office in Brisbane and now an office in Adelaide.
