3 127 The NT Auditor-General also noted that, although in general administrative procedures were effective, there were breakdowns of some intended controls over the administrative procedures. This reflected the difficulty of practical implementation of procedures for unique, short-term projects. The NT Auditor-General noted that while some internal audit activity has been occurring, further audit procedures were intended and that the agency should respond by fully implementing its proposed internal audit of the scheme. 70 The Gun Buy-Back Scheme
The National Public Education Campaign This chapter outlines the Commonwealth’s management of the competitive tender process for the national public education campaign in support of the gun buy-back scheme. Introduction 3 128 The national public education campaign in support of the buy-back scheme resulted from a Commonwealth proposal put before the APMC meeting on 10 May 1996. Following APMC agreement the Government decided to fund the costs of a national component of this campaign. This was to be additional to Commonwealth funding for the regional campaigns proposed by each State. The costs of regional campaigns were considered to be part of the costs of establishing and administering the scheme. 3 129 Two million dollars was initially allocated for the national public education campaign. The Government decided to increase this to $4 million in order to provide adequate electronic media coverage. 3 130 The aim of the national public education campaign was to explain the new firearms regulations, and promote compliance with the national firearms amnesty. It consisted of two main elements: an advertising campaign and a public relations campaign. The Attorney-General’s Department and the CLEB Support Group were responsible for the management of the campaign, being advised and supported by OGIA. 3 131 In the selection of advertising and public relations consultancies, as with the selection of any consultancy service, an open, transparent and accountable process is essential for demonstrating value-formoney, probity and accountability within an administrative system. 3 132 The Gun Buy-Back Scheme 71
