SMALL CHARTER VEHICLES, LICENCE FEE INCREASE
Why is the Government hell-bent on proposed changes that will raise an additional $330 000 in fees from only 375 small business people to employ extra staff to police the small charter vehicle industry’s compliance with licence requirements when a recent audit of small charter vehicle operators found only minor discrepancies in the industry - The SPEAKER: Order! I ask the member to finish his question. This is not an opportunity to make a small speech. Ask a question and the minister will answer. Mr BARRON-SULLIVAN: I will paraphrase the question. Why is the Government hell-bent on the proposed changes when a recent audit of 100 operators out of 375 resulted in not one prosecution and only minor discrepancies? Mrs ROBERTS
