The Minister for the Environment and Water Resources indicated last week that money had been provided in the budget for a public information campaign. I indicated last week that we reserve the right to conduct such a campaign. We do reserve the right to conduct such a campaign, but no final decision has been made on that campaign or the content of it. Until it is signed off on by a minister or ministers or a group of ministers involving me, it remains the case that no material has been approved for distribution to the public. That has been my position all along. Of course there has been some expense involved in testing. Of course there has. Of that there is no doubt, but how much that is I will try to find out and let the Leader of the Opposition know.
