Chapter 16 - Committees

Evidence gathering

Advertising the reference

Many, but by no means all, committee inquiries are publicised in appropriate media, including through the Internet and paid advertisements in the press. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, the most appropriate publications are chosen in order to reach those people and organisations most likely to make submissions. These publications may include national, regional or specialised newspapers. Inquiries are also commonly notified to the media by way of press releases. Some limited use has been made of radio advertisements, but to date television advertisements and freephone technology have been seldom used because of the cost.
