STATE
BUDGET 2013–14 — ADVERTISING
396. Mr B.S. WYATT to the Premier:
I ask a supplementary question. Can
the Premier guarantee that the only advertising of the budget will be through
social media and web-based advertising?

AnswerView source ↗

The member should listen. I have not
been through the whole —
Several members interjected.
The
SPEAKER : The question has been asked. Let the Premier answer the question
and a further question can be asked by somebody else.
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : I cannot guarantee that there will not be an ad, for example,
telling people about a concession that might be available or whatever else. I
can tell members opposite that that information will be distributed
electronically and there will not be the glossy brochures and the full-page
advertisements, all the things that have happened under previous governments.
They will find a very lean but very informative, effective and attractive
format for distributing information to the community. I thank the member for
Victoria Park very much for the question. I hope he will stand up and support
this lean approach to promoting information about the budget this afternoon
because he is wrong in the implication of his question.
