I refer to the new Tourism Western Australia's TV campaign promoting "extraordinary" experiences and I ask: (a) why do these advertisements shown in other States include a caption saying it is funded by Royalties for Regions; (b) was the funding for these advertisements from Royalties for Regions contingent on this caption being included; (c) how much funding was provided by Royalties for Regions for this campaign and how much by Tourism Western Australia; and (d) has there been research undertaken about recognition of the Royalties for Regions program interstate and whether it adds or detracts from the key message of the advertisements?
