My question is again to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister inform the parliament how much taxpayers’ money has been spent on government advertising since 1 January of this year? Further, how much more taxpayers’ money does the government plan to spend on advertising before the election? Prime Minister, will you report back to the parliament with those figures before the end of question time today?

Mr Speaker, I am happy to provide, in the appropriate way, at the appropriate time, in the appropriate detail, any information sought by the Leader of the Opposition.
