GOVERNMENT
PROPERTY — JUNK FOOD ADVERTISING
381. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Given the minister's claim that she is exploring options, when can we
see a commitment to this election promise?

AnswerView source ↗

It was a commitment made at the
last election, and we are committed to delivering it, as we have delivered
every single one of our election commitments—or started to deliver.
Give the department a break. I mean, public health has been dealing with a global
pandemic.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Ms A. SANDERSON : We are absolutely
committed to delivering this election commitment, and I am not sure what
campaign the member is talking about. I have seen a few letters that have come
to my office. I have had no approach for people to meet with me if they have
concerns and I am more than happy to meet with stakeholders who have concerns.
But this is a solid commitment from the government and we are working through
it and we will deliver it, and the member will know when we have.
