In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (8 September 2015).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change):

1. Notices are placed in The Advertiser on a daily basis.

2. Since 1999, The Advertiser has provided this service at no cost.

3. The advertisements only appear in The Advertiser.

4. This is a free service provided by The Advertiser.

5. The Advertiser has been publishing these notices since 1999 as a means to educate the community about the appropriateness of fauna sales. It is unlikely that alternative sources will be as effective because this service captures a large audience and is provided at no cost to the taxpayer.
