KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:01):</by>  I do not think it is a new tax. There is a current levy in place now on the premiums issued by the Motor Accident Commission. We have said all along that we want the Motor Accident Commission to remain and have a very keen role in road safety awareness. I will get a more detailed answer for the Leader of the Opposition, but it is my understanding that that already occurs. If it is not right I will come back and correct the record, but that is my understanding.</text>
