Department of Minerals and Energy Coal Industry Superannuation Board (1)-(5) The Department of Minerals and Energy and the Coal Industry Superannuation Board do not undertake television advertising. The Member is advised that Media Decisions, holder of the Government?s master media contract for purchasing all media space, including television air time, and which is a Marketforce company, has advised all Government advertisers on several occasions that consideration should be given to using Channel 31. Media Decisions has also been directed by Government to include Channel 31 for consideration in schedules, where appropriate, for all departments and agencies. Departments and agencies under the Minister's control will continue to be reminded to consider using Channel 31. With encouragement from Government, Marketforce executives met with representatives of Channel 31 in March and this resulted in Channel 31 being given, free of charge, an extensive strategic plan designed to gain higher market penetration.
