I thank the honourable member for his question about government advertising. It recalls one of the more disgraceful exercises of the last Labor government. We all recall during the last election campaign how the then Special Minister of State, the member for Isaacs, directed the Public Service to continue the blatantly political 'By boat, no visa' advertisements during the 2013 election campaign. They ignored the advice of their own senior public servants.
