Government Advertising

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): A question to the Premier: given that the only annual media expenditure on advertising for 2016-17 disclosed in the annual report and/or the website is at $34.1 million, will he tell the parliament how much of those funds DPC spent as an agency?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for the Arts) (14:33): I'm having trouble squaring that question with the previous question. Either we did or we didn't disclose the advertising expenditure. It seems that we did now.

Ms Chapman: It's the total, not the agencies.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Okay, it's the agencies now.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader has used up all her warnings, continued to interject and will have to depart for half an hour under the sessional order.

The honourable member for Bragg having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Of course, I will take that question on notice and bring back an answer.
