    29 Oct 2003 Legislative Assembly 4451 WEDNESDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2003 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Government Advertising; Auditor-General Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. I refer to an article which appeared in today's Courier-Mail headed 'Government ads under scrutiny as election looms'. I wrote to the Auditor-General on 21 October in these terms— ... I advise that my Government will be advertising information in relation to the TAB merger, a new hearing service for newborn babies, and seeking to attract investment in tourism in conjunction with the Rugby World Cup. There may be additional advertising, still according to these guidelines. There is no way that my Government is going to miss the opportunity to encourage international and interstate Rugby World Cup visitors to enjoy our tourist facilities or to invest in Queensland. I also wrote to the Auditor-General this morning about the article in today's Courier-Mail because I am concerned that the position taken here, on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition, could politicise the role of the Auditor-General. That is a very serious issue. I seek leave to have incorporated in Hansard the letter I have written to the Auditor-General of 21 October and the letter I have written to the Auditor-General today. I also seek leave to have incorporated in Hansard a statement I put out which draws to the attention of the Auditor-General a matter that is still unresolved—that is, in June 1999, based on the 1998 election, the Australian Broadcasting Authority found that the government advertising for the then Borbidge government, of which the Leader of the Opposition was a minister, engaged in political advertising.
