Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Motor Vehicle Registration Database MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION DATABASE The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION DATABASE The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:58): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, representing the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, a question concerning the motor vehicle registration database. Leave granted. The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Information has come to my attention over the last 48 hours that some private car park operators are imposing what purport to be expiation notices on South Australians for infringing their private car parking provisions. The trouble with these notices is that they are not expiations by statute law but in fact notices of enforcement of contract conditions between the car park owner and the motorist. Be that as it may, constituents allege that the means by which this notice is being sent to motorists is by photographic recognition technology of the motorist's numberplate and then cross reference with their registration details. My question to the minister is: will he look into and advise the house of the checks and balances in protection to ensure that private companies and individuals do not have access to confidential details regarding the name and address of people registered with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:59): I thank the honourable member for his important question. I undertake to take that question to the responsible minister in the other place and seek a response.
