Yesterday in question time the member for Calare made reference to an advertisement I placed in the Lithgow Mercury reminding residents of that community that I am working hard for them—an advertisement similar to ones placed in the Bathurst Advocate and the Oberon Review, also assuring those residents that I am working hard for them. They are both accurate statements. However, the member for Calare yesterday asserted that those advertisements were paid for by taxpayer funds. He is wrong. They were paid for out of my own conference campaign funds.
