AnswerView source ↗

I thank the former Leader of the National Party for providing some notice of this question, and the current Leader of the National Party for asking this question. (1)-(2) As a result of the machinery of government review, most sections of the Department of Transport are being transferred to the Department for Planning and Infrastructure. Several members interjected. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs ROBERTS: This will include the vehicle licensing section and the Office of Road Safety. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Time is moving on. There was some question about how many questions we would get through. If members are interested in asking questions and listening to answers, I suggest that conversations cease. Mrs ROBERTS: As the House has been told on many occasions, the Office of Road Safety is my responsibility and will remain so. (3) Revenue raised from speed and red light camera infringements will be directed to road safety: one-third will be directed to the Road Trauma Trust Fund and two-thirds will be accounted for separately. (4) The total revenue from speed and red light camera infringements is expected to be about $33 million each year.
