In relation to the 1992-93 financial year
l. What services were advertised by (a) the Chief Ministers department; or (b) each of the agencies under the Chief Ministers control.
2. What was the total cost of advertising of these services by (a) the Chief Ministers Department; or (b) each of the agencies under the Chief Ministers control.

5. What was the total cost of advertising positions vacant by (a) the Chief Ministers Department; or (b) each of the agencies under the Chief Ministers control.
6. How many positions vacant were filled by external applicants with respect to advertisements placed and detailed in (4) and (5).
MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Members question is as follows:
1. Advertisements for services were placed by the Chief Ministers Department in the following classifications for the 1992-93 financial year: Public Notices and Tenders. In addition the following services were advertised: Business Promotion and Incentive Schemes and Employment Incentive Schemes.
2. For the 1992-93 financial year, the total cost of advertisements for the services indicated in 1. was $51,372.76.
3. The publications in which advertisements were placed for the 1992-93 financial year were: The Canberra Times; The Chronicle; The Valley View; The Monitor; The Australian; The Real Estate and Community Times; The Town/Country Magazine; The South East Magazine; The Financial Review; The Sydney Morning Herald and The Koori Mail.
4. The number of advertisements for positions vacant placed during 1992-93 was 57.
5. The cost of advertising positions vacant during 1992-93 was $31,238.25.
6. It is possible to identify the number of persons appointed from outside of the ACT and Commonwealth Public Services in the 1992-93 financial year. However, it would be an expensive and time consuming exercise to ascertain whether these positions were necessarily filled as a result of advertisements placed in the 1992-93 financial year, or alternatively through base level recruitment or advertisements placed in the previous year. Accordingly, I am not prepared to authorise the use of resources for this purpose.
