RECREATIONAL BOATING

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:29): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Leader of the Government, representing the Minister for Transport, questions about recreational boating registration fees in South Australia.

The PRESIDENT: Hear, hear!

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: I thought you would have some interest in this question, Mr President. Recently, I was contacted by several constituents inquiring about the unfair recreational boating registration fees in South Australia. South Australia has the highest recreational boating registration fees of all the states, apart from Queensland, which, to its credit, at least offers a seniors and pensioners concession rate, which is almost half the original fee. My questions to the minister are: what is the justification for such outrageous fees, and why does South Australia not offer any concession rate to seniors and pensioners?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:30): I thank the honourable member for his questions. I will refer them to the minister in another place and bring back a response.
