          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:00):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Transport. In July 2008, when the department withdrew an expiation notice that had been issued to Brian Beelitz, did it do so because the prosecution believed the department's evidence against Mr Beelitz had been fabricated?</text>

          <by role="member" id="526">The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure) (15:00):</by>  I will just run the files back in my memory for this. Can I say, firstly, my understanding is that it is not open to the department or otherwise to withdraw an expiation notice. My understanding is that it is for the police to do. I am absolutely unaware of any such suggestion. I do hope that it is true; it would be embarrassing for the member for Davenport if it were not. Certainly, I have no knowledge of such a thing. I would be happy to check, but I do not believe it is open to the department to withdraw expiations. I think that is a matter for the police.</text>
