Advertising splurge

According to the Sunday Age, the Howard Government has spent $2 billion on advertising since coming to power 11 years ago. I find the figure abhorrent. That’s enough money to build numerous schools and hospitals. And the likely reality is that few of us are better informed than we would have been without the advertising.

Coming from the leftist Sunday Age though, you have to read half way down the article to see any mention of Labor State Governments or the former Keating Government.

All ruling parties spend taxpayers’ money to stay in power. There needs to be a system for limiting this abuse.
