Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Dubai Trade and Investment Office Dubai Trade and Investment Office The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Dubai Trade and Investment Office The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:06): Supplementary arising from the answer: has the minister on official duties visited Dubai or areas in that region? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade Dubai Trade and Investment Office The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for his question and his ongoing interest in my travel. No, I have not visited that particular part of the globe as a minister. I visited it a number of times in opposition, and I would urge the members opposite to get out and have a look around the world. It is something that might broaden their horizons a little bit, to have a look at what other parts of the world are doing. We are in the recruitment phase for the director of the office, and I am sure that next year I will be able to report to the honourable member that I will have visited the Middle East.
