Question Time

State Budget Advertising Campaign

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:05): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier advise the house how much taxpayer funding is being used on advertising—

The Hon. S.S. Marshall: Sorry, could you say that again?

The SPEAKER: Start from the beginning.

Mr MALINAUSKAS: Sure. It's not a tricky one. Can the Premier advise the house how much taxpayer funding is being used on advertising the 2019-20 state budget?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:05): I don't have that number at hand. I am happy to get an answer and come back to the house, but I can say that it is a fraction of any expenditures incurred over the last decade or more.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Ramsay and the Deputy Premier are called to order.
