Speed Camera Revenue

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:07): My question is to the Minister for Road Safety. Can the minister guarantee that the state government is not using speed camera fine revenue to pay for non-road safety programs?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:07): I thank the honourable member for his question. As the budget paper shows, we have a Community Road Safety Fund, and all the moneys collected from expiation notices, etc., go into that fund and are used for the purposes of road safety, which includes a whole range of programs. In fact, I was asked this question recently, most of the money is actually spent in regional areas.
