QuestionView source ↗

I ask a supplementary question. I repeat: what is the estimated cost of the advertising campaign that will accompany the sustainability strategy? It is a straightforward question. Be accountable. Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

I am not aware of any advertising campaign. Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was in The West Australian ! Dr G.I. GALLOP: I am aware that The West Australian is fully supporting the seminar that we are hosting this week, and I congratulate it for the public interest and the commitment that it is showing to new ideas in Western Australia. The West Australian is involved in that, in cooperation with the Government. I will get the cost of that for the Leader of the Opposition. That is about the seminar that we are currently holding. I would have thought that the Leader of the Opposition would be proud of the fact that 20 ministers from all over the world are in Perth, Western Australia, discussing these matters. The trouble with the Leader of the Opposition is that he has no pride in the State of Western Australia - just oppose, oppose, oppose. He must lower everything to the lowest common denominator. That is his approach to government. I say to the Leader of the Opposition that he should stay down there with the lowest common denominator and oppose everything that the Government does. We will be quite happy to get out there and to continue to promote the great State of Western Australia. We will continue to ensure that our State is thinking about the future, so that the young people of our State will inherit something from our Government that they can be proud of.
