61. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Does the Premier think it is
an appropriate use of taxpayers' money for his government to develop a
cartoon series, The Adventures of Roy ,
promoting the government's programs and politically indoctrinating
children? It is not the adventures of Troy; that one is M-plus!

AnswerView source ↗

I have not seen the material. I do not know for what purpose
it was used, but I have not seen it.
Mr M. McGowan :
Your government puts it out!
Mr C.J. BARNETT : I
have not seen it, but if the Leader of the Opposition is implying waste, just
look at the Labor Party's record in government. It was atrocious in its
waste of public expenditure.
