Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (15:04): Supplementary: has any work been done—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey has the call.

Ms BEDFORD: My question is again to the Minister for Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. Has any work been done on privatising or outsourcing the motor registration function?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:04): I think you would actually have to ask the former treasurer that question because, as we know, there was a secret $80 million payment as part of the sale of the Lands Titles Office that forces us to look at the privatisation of the motor registry. It forces us to have a look at that. In fact, if we don't do that we have to pay 80 million bucks back to the people who bought the Lands Titles Office.

So, yes, we are. I think you should have asked the member for West Torrens, when he was the treasurer, about why he did it and kept it secret from South Australians. What we are doing is our level best to protect taxpayers' money, who are potentially on the hook for 80 million bucks because of a disgusting decision taken by the former treasurer.

The SPEAKER: Member for Waite.
