| Subject: OZschwitz Border Farce spends $18,000 on water bottles, pens for 'branding' Wed Nov 16, 2016 8:10 pm | |
| Branding, it seems, is important - even when it comes to "on-water matters".
So much so, that Border Force has spent $18,000 on drink bottles, pens and fridge magnets as part of an "education and awareness raising campaign" for its community dob-in suspicious behaviour service Border Watch.
Authorised by the "intelligence division" the contract for the promotional material was awarded late last year and asked about during a February estimates hearing, but only recently answered.
The products, which included 5000 drink bottles for $10,120, 5000 pens for $4250.40, 5000 fridge magnets for $1393.70 and 2000 rulers for $2401.30, were created for distribution among its 1500 'industry partners'.
