The Members support for this Liberal/National Government's road safety commitment is noted. It is also noted that the previous Labor government failed to deliver this project in the 8 years it had to initiate change. As the Member would be aware, recent changes that will see 100 per cent of revenue allocation from red light and speed cameras moved from consolidated revenue to the Road Trauma Trust account to be used in vital road safety measures to save lives in Western Australia. This is yet another initiative the previous Labor government promised over many years during elections yet failed to delivered on, demonstrating their lack of priority to road safety.
(1 - 5d) This question should be referred to the Minister for Police.
