"If any of the state's 172 fixed speed cameras are found to to have no effect on road saftey they will be ripped out.

Ineffective" speed cameras will be ripped out.

The RTA has has found some cameras that are ineffective.

In what way are they ineffective?

Perhaps those ones in the RTA's view, aren't making enough money.

In all of his recent statements about WA's massive increase in speed cameras, Police Minister Rob Johnson has been scrupulously silent on how the extra money raked in through fines will be spent. And we're not talking peanuts here.

Over the coming four financial years, an extra $250 million will flow to the Government from speed and red-light fines.

While the minister has been silent, the recent State Budget papers speak volumes.

They show the fines growing from $37.2 million this financial year to $92.9 million next year as the revenue from 67 new cameras pours into Sate coffers.

But the following years are the ones that make the most interesting reading. In 2011-12 and the two years after that for which the Budget projects revenue, the Government has written in red-light and speed fines at $112.0 million annually.

What that tells us is that four years down the track of this new regime of speed control, the Government expects no discernible change in driver behaviour. The fines revenue remains static.

It wouldn't happen here, or would it?
