Government Advertising

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:16): My question again is to the Premier. Do government advertising guidelines permit images of himself or any other member of parliament appearing in paid advertising campaigns?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:16): I don't have those guidelines with me at the moment, but I am happy to consult those guidelines. I think we will certainly not be returning to the previous practice under the previous government, where we were constantly being bombarded with the Labor Party's images of themselves emblazoned on our television sets and hearing their voices on radio.

Mr Duluk: It was awful.

The SPEAKER: The member for Waite is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: It is quite disconcerting when viewers are home at night having dinner with their family and they see a politician popping up. This is not something which is a mainstay of our advertising practice but, with regard to the guidelines, I am happy to look at them and provide them to the member.
