Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Trade Missions Trade Missions The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY Legislative Council Trade Missions The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (14:50): You don't know? I thought you did. Sorry, Mr President. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wortley. The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY Legislative Council The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: I always had one. My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Soon after being dumped as tourism minister, the Premier went on a trade mission to Singapore. Did you, as trade and investment minister, accompany the Premier and, if not, why not? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade and Investment The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:51): I thank the honourable member for his question. As the member would recall, that was a gazetted trip that was gazetted for the Premier to travel—I think it was sometime in December. It was a trip that he had planned. Given all of the issues that were happening back in South Australia at the time, there was no need for me to travel with the Premier. The Premier did that trade mission and had a whole range of meetings around other issues as well while he was away. There was no need for me to travel with him.
