House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Answers to Questions Auditor-General's Report Auditor-General's Report In reply to Mr PISONI House of Assembly Unley Auditor-General's Report In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (2 November 2016). The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Minister for Housing and Urban Development Auditor-General's Report The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I have been advised: 1.	The Passenger Transport Research and Development Fund balance is currently at around $11,000, and is administered on my behalf by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. The department reviews the status of this Fund, and initiatives within the scope of its intended purpose. 2.	The only source of funds is interest earned. The most recent expenditure was in June 2014 to assist in funding shields to be installed in taxis to protect taxi drivers. Due to the Taxi and Chauffeur Vehicle Review in 2015 and the subsequent industry reforms, there were no initiatives considered for use of this funding in the 2015-16 financial year. 3.	The $1 Point to Point Transport Service Transaction Levy will be separate to the Passenger Transport Research and Development Fund, as they each have their independent priorities in terms of what the funds are to be used for.
