ROAD SAFETY PROJECTS — FUNDING APPROVAL
My question is to the Minister for Road Safety and Acting Treasurer. I refer to the minister’s answer to Legislative Council question on notice 3995 about last year’s and this year’s expenditure of speed and red-light camera revenue under the road trauma trust fund for road safety projects. (1) How is it that in both years the sum of $358 000 has been allocated for procurement savings reduction? (2) Does the minister still stand by his commitment to direct 100 per cent of speed camera income directed to the RTTF, given that he is currently taking money out of the fund? (3) Is the road trauma trust fund subject to the three per cent efficiency dividend? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗
(1)–(2) The member just hates it, doesn’t she! The member for Girrawheen really hates that we have come up with an initiative whereby 100 per cent will go into the road trauma trust fund. Ms M.M. Quirk : No. I want 100 per cent! You’re diddling the fund. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Yes, it will! We have said that from next year it will. We have committed to that. Members opposite hate it because they promised to do it for years and years and never had the courage to. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why did Labor not do it? I will tell members opposite why. It had a pretty useless Treasurer at the time who would not allow it. This was a Treasurer who was absolutely awash with funds but who would not allow 100 per cent of the infringement money to go to the road trauma trust fund. The member for Midland said that she would do it when she was Minister for Police, but she never got round to it; in seven and half years, she never got round to it! The member really hates the fact that we have made a commitment to direct that money into the fund. We will carry through with that commitment. What was the other part of the question? Ms M.M. Quirk : How is it that in both years a sum of $358 000 has been allocated for a procurement savings reduction out of the road trauma trust fund? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is that a question for me as the Minister for Road Safety or as the Acting Treasurer? Ms M.M. Quirk : You as the Minister for Road Safety. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will have to get the member the answer to that question because I am not absolutely across it. If the member wants to know what the savings are, I will certainly find out and let her know.

The member really hates the fact that we have made a commitment to direct that money into the fund. We will carry through with that commitment. What was the other part of the question? Ms M.M. Quirk : How is it that in both years a sum of $358 000 has been allocated for a procurement savings reduction out of the road trauma trust fund? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is that a question for me as the Minister for Road Safety or as the Acting Treasurer? Ms M.M. Quirk : You as the Minister for Road Safety. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will have to get the member the answer to that question because I am not absolutely across it. If the member wants to know what the savings are, I will certainly find out and let her know.
Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why did Labor not do it? I will tell members opposite why. It had a pretty useless Treasurer at the time who would not allow it. This was a Treasurer who was absolutely awash with funds but who would not allow 100 per cent of the infringement money to go to the road trauma trust fund. The member for Midland said that she would do it when she was Minister for Police, but she never got round to it; in seven and half years, she never got round to it!
