Chris Bowen (Prospect, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

I would like to take the minister to the issue of government advertising and the indication in estimates that $250 million has been allocated for government advertising in the financial year 2006-07, a substantial increase from financial year 2005-06. Can the minister indicate whether the government has any forward projections as to the timing of this advertising, particularly in relation to the latter half of 2007? Is it expected that advertising will increase over 2007 and perhaps peak somewhere around October 2007?
