I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister’s comments referred to a projected decrease in vehicle registrations over the next four years. I table a document from the Department of Transport showing the estimates in the previous budget, and the estimates in the current budget. This amounts to a drop of around $65 million in vehicle registration revenue and, because vehicle registration fees are hypotheticated, this amounts to a reduction of $65 million in road funds. As the Department of Transport document shows, the cause of this revenue drop is the federal coalition’s disastrous goods and services tax. [See paper No 615.]
