It is worth noting that in the financial year 2007?2008, the Labor Government spent $36.6 million on Government advertising.  In today's money, allowing for a conservative 3.5% annual increase in media costs, that would equate to $39.2 million, or, 63.3% or $15.2 million more than the projected outcome for the current financial year.
Government Department and Agency expenditure on advertising placement for 2009?2010 by the Liberal National Government was $19.9 million.  This reflects the government's focus on delivering projects and services rather than propaganda.
(1-5) Advertising expenditure is published in annual reports in accordance with S175ZE of the
Electoral Act
1907.
(6) The agency follows the Western Australian Government's 'Buy Local' policies and actively seeks to procure goods and services from Western Australian suppliers as a priority.
