ANNUAL CRASH STATISTICS BOOK
I refer to the $70 000 approved in 2010–11 for the annual crash statistics book and the further $262 000 allocated in this year’s budget. (1) Given this expenditure, why is it that the Office of Road Safety website shows only 2006 as the latest crash stats book? (2) Where are the figures from 2007 onwards? Hon PETER COLLIER

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The production of the annual crash books is a lengthy process. Raw data requires verification data analysis in the preparation of tables. The document is put on the website only when it is confirmed as a final publication. While the full crash stats books are being prepared for printing, the Office of Road Safety has placed on its website preliminary information for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The preliminary report for 2010 has been prepared and will shortly be added to the website. (2) The 2007 publication is being finalised for printing. A first draft of the 2008 book is being proofread. Work commenced on the 2009 and 2010 annual publications in mid-2011. The books for these latter years are being prepared in parallel.
