It is worth noting that in the financial year 2007-2008, the Labor Government spent $36.6million on Government advertising. In today's money, allowing for a conservative 3.5% annual increase in media costs, that would equate to $39.2million, or, 63.3% or $15.2million more than the projected outcome for the current financial year.
Government Department and Agency expenditure on advertising placement for 2009-2010 by the Liberal National Government was $19.9million. This reflects the government's focus on delivering projects and services rather than propaganda.
