I refer the Premier to the Australian Labor Party election policy on accountability, which states that Labor “will issue guidelines to prevent publicly funded advertising being used inappropriately or for political partisan purposes”. After three and a half years in government, has the Premier issued those guidelines? Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

Yes. We have guidelines for the Government’s advertising and, what is more, $1.7 million less is being spent in this area of government than was spent in the last year of the Court Government.
