Due to the sheer volume and range of work associated with the production and filming of advertisements, it is not considered an appropriate use of government resources to audit every element of production (which could range from filming to creative, technical, media purchasing, acting and post-production) for every advertisement to determine if any component of was done outside of Western Australia.
If the member has a specific question concerning an advertisement, the Government will consider it.
