I have a cunning plan.......

The states swear on a stack of bibles that speed cameras and low BAC fines are not revenue raising and all the money goes to roads.

How about the Federal Government deduct any monies raised by these methods from the states' grants and ACTUALLY used it to build roads.
e.g. Victoria raise $500,000,000 in speed camera fines so $500,000,000 is taken from their Federal grant.

Then it is absolutely true that the states are not revenue raising

I am sure Comrade Kev and the red witch would welcome the funds to help pay for roads (and screams from the states would take the media focus off insulation, schools, health and whatever else they have stuffed up this week ).

So any of you true believers have an inside line to pass this off as your own idea so you get a promotion or new job as a reward?
