My question is again to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister confirm that further taxpayer funded Work Choices advertising has been booked for the weeks commencing 30 September and 7 October?

John Howard

John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

I stand by all of the advertisements that have been run on Work Choices. The guidelines that we are following in relation to government advertising are, I am advised, the same guidelines that were followed by the previous Labor government.
