PENALTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

198 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (31 July 2007). How will the increase in income derived from 'fees, fines and penalties' under the Penalty Management Services Program be achieved in 2007-08?

The Hon. M.J. ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs): I have been advised:

The increase in income derived from fees, fines and penalties under the Penalty Management Services program will be achieved through the annual indexation of fees and charges.

In addition, there is an increase of $11 for the fee for the commencement of summary proceedings in the Magistrates Court and for making an enforcement order under the Expiation of Offences Act 1996.
