          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:48):</by>  It hasn't, but it will from 1 July. It has an ongoing responsibility in terms of road safety messaging; for example, the MAC Rescue Helicopter. There was a recent event in Victoria Square for the Tour Down Under where there was a very big, inflatable cycle that had 'MAC' all over it. So it has continued, albeit in a different way.</text>
        <text id="20190404f1e94ba32d34456d90000553">My clear message to MAC has been that we are not here advertising the MAC; we are actually here advertising road safety messages: don't drink and drive, don't speed, game-changer. Whatever their road safety message is is what we are interested in. I am not actually interested in the actual brand. What I am interested in is the road safety message that the MAC has been pushing and that is what the government certainly would like to see continue.</text>
