MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION

166 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (11 July 2012). With respect to 2012-13 Budget Paper 4, vol. 4, p. 81—

1. Why is motor vehicle registration included in the Premier and Cabinet cash flow statement?

2. Why has there been a more than doubling since the 2011-12 estimated result?

3. Why was nil recorded in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 budgets?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development): I have been advised of the following:

Motor vehicle registration is collected by Service SA. Service SA was transferred to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) from 1 January 2012.

The 2011-12 estimated result ($200.4 million) relates to the period of 2011-12 that Service SA was part of DPC (1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012). The 2012-13 Budget ($413.9 million) is for the full financial year.

As Service SA was part of the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure in 2010-11 and 2011-12, motor vehicle registration collections were not recorded as a DPC cash flow.
