Motor Accident Commission Marketing Budget

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:34): Supplementary: has the police commissioner agreed to take on responsibility for road safety messaging and is he satisfied with the funding arrangements?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:34): I thank the member for the question. Again, I just don't know how I can be any clearer. I am not sure if he needs to clean out his ears.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members of my left! I would like to hear the answer.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Listen, because I have been really clear.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is warned.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I have to stress the matter again, that the Motor Accident Commission was sold off by those opposite. We have made that abundantly clear. They sold that off. They stripped the assets—

Mr Odenwalder interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Elizabeth is warned.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —and paid down their debt. We know how they work on that side. That left the road safety component. That money is being transferred. As the Treasurer made abundantly clear, we are looking after all the accounts and all the operations within that, and they are being transferred to SAPOL and DPTI. They are being transferred between the two organisations and to the Office of Rec and Sport as well.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
