SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BRAND

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): I have a supplementary question. The Premier will be advising on costs—can we get an ambulance? I think the minister is having a fit or something; I am not sure.

The PRESIDENT: Do you have a supplementary?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Mr President, the minister is having a fit.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, what is your supplementary question?

The Hon. T.J. Stephens: Get across and give her mouth-to-mouth, mate.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: No, I won't. Hang on!

The Hon. T.J. Stephens interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: No, that's the Black Rod's job, not mine. The question was—

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I give up!

The PRESIDENT: You give up? Alright.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Have you been drinking today?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Lensink.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: No, no.

The PRESIDENT: You just said that you had given up. The Hon. Mr Ridgway has a supplementary question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Let him get it out.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: In relation to costings, is the minister saying that she has no idea what it will cost Primary Industries to implement the new logo?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:25): Not only does he have trouble speaking, he also has trouble hearing. I said that the Premier will be making an announcement about further details about costings later on this evening.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: So, you don't know?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: That does not assume that at all. What it says is that the Premier will be announcing details around those costing issues later on this evening. As I said, the Hon. David Ridgway needs to work on improving his articulation as well as cleaning out his ears.
