My question is to Senator Santoro, the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, and it is also about petrol sniffing. I understand that the advertising and public education campaign explaining the safety and importance of the non-sniffable Opal fuel was completed sometime ago but has not been implemented. Can the minister explain why the government has failed to act to counter misinformation and negative stories about Opal in the Alice Springs media? Can the minister explain what proportion of the money allocated to the education campaign has already been spent and does he expect that ads will be placed in local media?
