I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes, a contract for the provision of services for the supply of vehicle registration labels and discs was awarded to Zipform Pty Ltd on 16 May 2009. The termination of the contract came into effect on 1 January 2010. (2) The contract has been terminated by Transport. The special conditions of the contract make provision for Transport to terminate the services prior to the contract expiry date. There were no costs associated with the termination of the contract. (3) There were 4.2 million stickers and 1.02 million discs. (4) There were 3.78 million — Hon Ken Travers : There were 3.78 million and you got rid of them! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : No, no. Hon Ken Travers : I’d be looking like that too if I was reading the answer, minister. The PRESIDENT : Order! We are all waiting for the rest of this answer. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : The member should please contain his excitement. I am trying to — Hon Ken Travers : I would be incredulous as well when I was reading that answer, minister. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : I will go back. Part (4) of the question was, “How many motor vehicle registration labels were produced for 2010 and what was the cost?” The answer is — (4) There were 3.78 million stickers produced, at a cost of $135 195, including GST, and 1.1 million discs, at a cost of $40 722, including GST. (5) Approximately 400 000 labels are surplus—are not now required—and are scheduled for destruction. The member also wanted to know what we will do with them. I have made arrangements for a couple of them to be placed in the officially sealed but not permanently completely sealed time capsule, so that in 50 years they can be brought out and be seen as an old relic of the past—a bit similar to the honourable member whose question I was delighted to answer!

Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : I will go back. Part (4) of the question was, “How many motor vehicle registration labels were produced for 2010 and what was the cost?” The answer is — (4) There were 3.78 million stickers produced, at a cost of $135 195, including GST, and 1.1 million discs, at a cost of $40 722, including GST. (5) Approximately 400 000 labels are surplus—are not now required—and are scheduled for destruction. The member also wanted to know what we will do with them. I have made arrangements for a couple of them to be placed in the officially sealed but not permanently completely sealed time capsule, so that in 50 years they can be brought out and be seen as an old relic of the past—a bit similar to the honourable member whose question I was delighted to answer!
(3) How many motor vehicle registration labels were produced for 2009? (4) How many motor vehicle registration labels were produced for 2010 and what was the cost? (5) How many of these labels are no longer required due to the change in legislation, and what will happen to this surplus stock? Hon SIMON O’BRIEN replied: I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes, a contract for the provision of services for the supply of vehicle registration labels and discs was awarded to Zipform Pty Ltd on 16 May 2009. The termination of the contract came into effect on 1 January 2010. (2) The contract has been terminated by Transport. The special conditions of the contract make provision for Transport to terminate the services prior to the contract expiry date. There were no costs associated with the termination of the contract. (3) There were 4.2 million stickers and 1.02 million discs. (4) There were 3.78 million — Hon Ken Travers : There were 3.78 million and you got rid of them! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : No, no. Hon Ken Travers : I’d be looking like that too if I was reading the answer, minister. The PRESIDENT : Order! We are all waiting for the rest of this answer.
