AnswerView source ↗

I said a moment ago that all normal types of advertising will continue to occur. This Government has indicated that it is not prepared to do what Labor did when in government to try to cover up the mess it got the State into. Mr Ripper: Will you tell us what advertising campaigns you are running? Mr COURT: Does the Deputy Leader of the Opposition want to know what the advertising campaigns will be in all government agencies? Mr Ripper: Will you tell us about the major television campaigns? Mr COURT: I shall give the member that information.
