The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:58): Supplementary question arising from the minister's answer: can the minister indicate for the traffic offences for which he was caught how much above the speed limit he was travelling at the time, given he has indicated that he was driving in a manner which was dangerous to other road users?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, it's up to you whether you want to answer that question.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:59): The Hon. Mr Lucas thinks he is being very clever and cute by asking these sorts of scurrilous questions.

I have been very honest about the fact that I've been caught speeding sometimes. I don't have those numbers at hand because I know it wasn't particularly large over the speed limit. I know that Mr Lucas thinks he's very clever. I'm not too sure what Mr Lucas's driving record is like. I'm not too sure if he wants to start declaring every single driving offence that he's had. But I've been honest about my indiscretions; I've got absolutely nothing to hide. Of course I have learned my lesson and I will be doing everything I can to continue to drive safely.
