Will the minister advise whether the government is delivering on all its commitments on road safety? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for his question and his commitment to road safety. I am absolutely delighted to advise the house that the Gallop government is delivering on its budgeted commitments on road safety. Mr J.H.D. Day interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : The member should be embarrassed because when he was the Minister for Police his delivery on road safety was practically nothing. Our delivery on road safety is as follows. The income this year from speed and red-light cameras is anticipated to be approximately $33 million. The government’s expenditure on road safety will be in the order of $101 million. That amount is vastly more than is received from speed and red-light cameras. Under the former government and the legislation there is a requirement to put one-third of all speed and red-light camera revenue - $11 million this year - into the road trauma trust fund. During the election the government committed to ensuring that the road trauma trust fund received at least $15 million each year. That commitment will be honoured by this government. In addition, the road enhancement program stands at more than $32.5 million and the state black spot program funding has been increased to $20 million a year. This is about the Gallop government delivering on its commitments on road safety. Prior to the election - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call to order the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and the member for Darling Range. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : During the election the Gallop government committed to lifting its funding on black spots from $15 million per annum to $20 million per annum. That is exactly what it is delivering. Mr J.H.D. Day : By funding it from Main Roads! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : It shows how ignorant the member is when he makes comments like that. Unlike members opposite, the government made a further commitment to the Safer Roads program of $20 million per annum. The government is delivering on that as well. That means $80 million will be spent over four years on the Safer Roads program. In total, more than $101 million will be spent on road safety. I am delighted today to table the document titled “Working Together for Road Safety in 2005/06”. [See paper 460.] Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : People can see that the government is delivering.
