Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Marine Parks MARINE PARKS The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council MARINE PARKS The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:05): A supplementary question: minister, what is the cost of the program and does it comply with government guidelines? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation MARINE PARKS The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:05): I can advise the honourable member that the approximate total cost of the education campaign is $1.18 million which is standard for a campaign of this size utilising TV, print and digital and outdoor advertising as well as online and face-to-face community engagement. I am confident this money will be very well spent indeed. There is a great deal of misinformation that has been spread about marine parks. It is very important that South Australians know, and they have the right to know, that parks are theirs to visit and to enjoy. This is also a cost-effective way of letting people find out about their responsibilities and obligation in marine parks. So we all want South Australians to be proud of the marine habitats we are protecting and get out and enjoy them.
