Over the weekend Agent General for South Australia Bill Muirhead floated the idea of renaming the state \u2018Adelaide\u2019 — a la \u2018New York, New York\u2019 in the US — but a poll run by The Advertiser<\/a> has found almost 70 per cent are against the idea.<\/p>\n Should SA change its name? #Adelaide<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/qRYeywi7jk<\/a><\/p>— The Advertiser (@theTiser) April 23, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>
\n\u201cSouth Australia is not a one trick pony and we shouldn\u2019t be tempted into a rebrand based on a New York comparison,\u201d the SA Property Council\u2019s Daniel Gannon has told the paper.<\/h3>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to brand, South Australia boasts global icons like Kangaroo Island, the Barossa Valley, Wilpena Pound, and the majestic Adelaide Hills, to name a few.<\/h3>\n
\u201cThese aren\u2019t Adelaide-based tourism meccas, they\u2019re based outside the metropolitan area.<\/h3>\n
\u201cA change in name will mean naught if we aren\u2019t globally competitive when it comes to economic development.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
