          <by role="member" id="1805">Mr GOLDSWORTHY (Kavel) (14:50):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Road Safety. Has the government received the results of a review initiated by the former minister, now Treasurer, into driving standards in South Australia, as he advised the parliament he had initiated on 23 June 2010? On 23 June last year, the Treasurer, who was the then minister for road safety, told the house:</text>

          <inserted>What I have done is ask the Registrar for Motor Vehicles to look at with what level of impairment someone should still be allowed to drive and whether those standards are adequate. As soon as that has been done, I will bring the information back to the house.</inserted>
