I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Government paid for some of the advertising costs. (2) $1 000. (3) The total cost was $14 635, with $13 635 being met by the Multiplex consortium. (4) It is not intended to run the advertisement again. (5) No other advertisements are planned. (6) Yes. (7) The source of funding to the Perth Convention Bureau is the Western Australian Tourism Commission. I will check the amount of funding for 2000-01 as a comma is in the wrong place on the figure I have been provided and it does not make much sense; however, but it is not a lot. I recommend that members who want to know about the convention centre look at the advertisement in The West Australian today. It is a very good one.
