"If you watch TV or read the paper, you’ve probably seen ads spruiking the
achievements of the federal or state government – from the next big transport
project to how they’re reducing the cost of living. While some government ads
are needed, many are little more than thinly-disguised political ads on the
public dime.

A new Grattan Institute report shows both Coalition and Labor governments, at
federal and state levels, use taxpayer-funded advertising for political
purposes. But there is a way to stop this blatant misuse of public money."
