(1) 13 June 2006. (2) Holden Trayback vehicle. (3-6) Yes. The damaged vehicle driven by the Member was referred to a car repairer through the Department of the Premier and Cabinet's lease company, Fleet Australia for a quotation on the cost of repairs. Fleet Australia authorised the repairs to be carried out. The cost of repairs were subsequently passed on to the Department. Fleet Australia have now advised the Department that it will be reimbursed by Riskcover, the Department's insurer for the costs of repairs. Fleet Australia has also confirmed that it will be reimbursing the costs of repairs back to the Department. It should be noted that the Fines Enforcement Agency ruled that the licence suspensions against Mr D'Orazio were invalid and hence, normal procedures were applied in relation to cost recovery.
