MINISTER ASSISTING THE MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE - RESPONSIBILITIES
What is the minister’s area of responsibility as the Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

AnswerView source ↗

My primary responsibility is in the area of licensing. If the honourable member had been paying some attention, he would know that in that area we have made considerable progress. I refer to the $73.8 million for the reforms and upgrades of all the licensing business operations throughout the state. The member would be aware that we have had a major reform of licensing, in particularly the vehicle inspection - Hon Simon O’Brien : Is it vehicle licensing or casino licensing? What are you talking about? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It is not casino licensing. Motor vehicle licensing, as the member might expect, comes under the portfolio of planning and infrastructure. Casino licensing more appropriately falls into the racing and gaming portfolio. We can certainly double-check that for the honourable member if he thinks that there may be some lack of clarity in respect of that matter.
