Question Time

DRIVING RECORD

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:10): My question is to the Minister for Youth. Did his statement to the house yesterday about his history of traffic offences include his full record of offending to date? Court records reveal additional offences, including 17 July 2008, disobey traffic light, offence No. 102234/1; 3 July 2008, disobey traffic light, red arrow, offence No. 95201; and on the same day, 3 July 2008, exceed speed limit, offence No. 95201/1.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:11): I made a ministerial statement yesterday and this morning and, to the best of my knowledge, they are accurate. I was advised by SAPOL at 2pm today that there are no additional fines other the ones that I have disclosed in my ministerial statement, and they are correct. I am advised by the deputy commissioner's office that SAPOL was provided with the details of the opposition's release. Aside from 7 May 2008, which has already been included in my statement, they are incorrect.
