As the Member should be aware, the voluntary food labelling program is called
Buy West, Eat Best
while the program's most recent advertising campaign was themed "Be vocal about eating local". There was also another campaign themed "Is Your Food From WA?"
a) Yes
b) The 5% was allocated against the budgeted $775,000.  However, even using the higher figure of the estimated expenditure of $786,000, the amount of campaign analysis conducted represents 6.4% of this advertising expenditure and 8.0% if you include the industry analysis of October 2009.  This analysis has been vital in guiding improvements to the
Buy West, Eat Best
program and a major contributor to increasing the confidence and funding from industry and its success in increasing demand for local food products.
