INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND LAND USE PLAN

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): If the minister can't provide the house with the detailed costing for the advertising campaign, can he at least indicate to the house whether that amount is higher or lower than the amount that the government cut from the antismoking campaign that they recently announced?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:59): We do not measure our consultation by the benchmarks that the opposition set. What we have is the independent Public Service, which we have a great deal of respect for, and they are the ones who decide on the consultation. They are the ones who decide what and where these consultation adverts go. But I promise to the house that I will get a detailed response for members so they know exactly how much we are spending in their communities to let people know about the transport plan.
