Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:58): Will the Treasurer now inform the house on whether the Treasurer's office of his department have undertaken an investigation, modelling or called for any expressions of interest into the sale of the fines and revenue from the Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit, as he took on notice on 17 October 2017?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:58): The government has no plans to commercialise or privatise the fines unit, or whatever the member called it, but I will go back and check to see if Treasury are doing any work. They are probably preparing their incoming briefs for both parties and, given the Liberal Party's addiction to privatisation, they are probably busily working up how to privatise the generators, how to privatise SA Water, how to privatise a whole series of things that members, like the Premier said, are attracted to like a moth to a flame.
