14. Mr Shane Love to the Minister for Road Safety :
I have a supplementary question. I note the minister's answer,
yet the toll still continues to rise. Will he undertake to ensure that the Road
Trauma Trust Account is spent meaningfully instead of on stunts, such as wrapping
confiscated Maserati cars?

I think the member's
question has shown that he is not above the odd stunt question in the house.
That was something that was undertaken by police. I will have to check, but I
am not sure that it came from the road trauma trust fund. I think it was a
police initiative to demonstrate—I think quite rightly too—what
happens to vehicles that can be seized. Police
wanted to send a very clear message. The member might call it a stunt, but it
got a lot of publicity and it made people realise that it is possible for
people to lose their vehicle, even if it is a Maserati. I support police in
their attempts to highlight the issue of road safety. That was a good and
effective way of doing it.
