          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL:</by>  Well, let's go through the history of this. I remember being at the meeting. At the meeting we said, 'We want to run a campaign,' and I can remember at the time Peter Sandeman was more than willing to put up his hand to say, 'We can run a campaign on behalf of this group'—not just the government but all the non-government organisations, the health sector, the education sector, SACOSS. And indeed that non-government organisation put a proposition to government that we were more than happy to fund, and they developed the material and the resources that were necessary to produce that material. I don't know whether there was any involvement in my office, if we were asked to participate.</text>
