Senator Siewert asked the Minister representing the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, upon notice, on 8 September 2011:

(5) In regard to signs that were removed or repainted by the department: (a) how many signs were removed or repainted; and (b) what was the cost of removing or repainting these signs.
Senator Arbib: The Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:
(1) (a) and (b) The production and installation of the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Alcohol and Prohibited Materials signs cost the Australian Government $1,351,074.42 (GST exclusive).

(2) A total of 405 signs were installed.

(4) NT DoJ is responsible for replacing or repairing signs that have been damaged, defaced or vandalised. Records show that 47 signs were repaired or replaced in 2010-11.
