AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) Stickers, 510 000, $18 360; disks, 160 000, $6 460; distribution, $1 870. (2) They have been securely destroyed. In addition to the written answer that I have provided to the member, I add that another question was asked by Hon Ken Travers recently about the amounts in the previous two years. The member would be interested in the answer to that question to see how much money the government will not be spending in future. Another interesting point is that I understand that only 400 000 of the 510 000 stickers had to be destroyed, which demonstrates that there was a requirement to print labels for 2011 after all. Hon Ken Travers : Only because you took a while to get the legislation in. Hon Simon O’Brien : That is because my predecessor could not get her act together to do it. The PRESIDENT : Order! The minister had finished answering the question and another member was trying to ask another question. Hon Robin Chapple
