SPEEDING FINES
I welcome to the public gallery students from Murdoch College. (1) Is the minister aware of any plans to increase speeding fines this year? (2) If so, by how much will fines be increased? (3) What is the purpose behind the increase, or is this just another cash grab by the government? (4) Are there plans to increase fines for motoring offences other than speeding; if so, will the minister inform the house of the details of the proposed increases? Mr J.B. D’ORAZIO

(1)-(4) Is this The West Australian question for the week? The member would be aware, as it was indicated by my predecessor, that we were doing a review. The Office of Road Safety commissioned a review in 2004. That review has concluded, and the findings have been handed down. At the appropriate time I will announce the outcome of those findings. It is important that we consider road safety initiatives right across the board. The recommendations put to us will obviously be considered. I will make a statement at the appropriate time. I will not comment further until I announce the whole package.
