Victims of Crime Payments

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:11): Supplementary: does the Attorney acknowledge that those levies, offences and speeding fines that he has just referred to have already recently increased on account of the balance of that fund and how much of the balance of the fund has been specifically quarantined for the Redress Scheme?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:11): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have the figures in front of me. From memory, it is some hundreds of millions of dollars that are hypothecated respectively from the fund for the National Redress Scheme, but I would have to go and find those figures. I am happy to do so and provide an answer for the honourable member.
