NSW govt 'gouging' motorist's pockets

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 21 November 2012 | 18.16

THE state government is gouging the pockets of motorists by rolling out more mobile speed cameras, the opposition says.

Opposition roads spokesman Ryan Park said NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has broken a promise not to use mobile speed cameras as revenue-raisers, after the government made record revenues in its first year.

He said in 2011/12, the state government has reaped $3.61 million in revenue from mobile speed cameras, more than double what was brought in the previous year.

"In opposition, Mr O'Farrell said mobile speed cameras were revenue-raisers, but now he is using them to gouge record amounts of money out of the pockets of motorists," Mr Park said in a statement.

Mr Park said those revenues will only increase once 109 new fixed speed cameras and 42 mobile speed cameras are rolled out, along with increased hours mobile speed cameras operate.

"Clearly this is a desperate grab for cash at the expense of motorists."
