My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. I refer the minister to the fact that the government has spent $55 million of taxpayers’ money advertising its industrial relations changes, with that advertising starting in 2005. How much of taxpayers’ money will the government now be spending on advertising its pre-election changes to industrial relations laws? What is the figure?

We will spend an appropriate amount of money to let Australians know where they stand in relation to the laws as they stand in the current system.
