TOURISM COMMISSION

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the minister a question regarding the Tourism Commission's Get Lost campaign.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I am delighted that the minister, in her answer to the previous question, spoke about me not being up with technology. As members would be aware, the Tourism Commission has a GPS guide to the Fleurieu as an app for your iPhone or your iPad. The app comes with the alluring and sophisticated voice of someone who says she is called Annabel, who says she knows South Australia as only a local can.

If you click on the Fleurieu map and go to The Marina Hindmarsh Island, the GPS map will take you there. Then, according to the app, you can stay at the marina hotel, enjoy Calypso Star shark cage diving, Adventure Bay Charters and swim with the tuna. The trouble with the app is, of course, you are now in Port Lincoln on Eyre Peninsula, not the Fleurieu Peninsula. My questions to the minister are:

1. Have you ever used this app?

2. When are you planning to catch all the schools of white pointers and move them from Port Lincoln to Lake Alexandrina?

3. Have you told the people of Goolwa they may soon be swimming with tuna?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:36): I can absolutely assure honourable members that all our apps are being updated. The honourable member can rest assured that all apps are being updated.
