Mrs HICKEY - 1998-12-01

Should taxpayers pay for uncommitted voter opinion research about the popularity of the Country Liberal Party and its ministers?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, a political party should pay for voting intention information when it relates to elections. Otherwise, all other matters are properly canvassed as a function of government as is the case in all governments around Australia regardless of political colour.
