ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
The following answers to questions were provided:
Motor Vehicle Theft
(Question No. 21)
Mr Jensen asked the Attorney-General, upon notice, on 26 July 1989:
(1) Has the Attorney-General received a submission from the Motor Trades Association of the ACT in relation to steps designed to reduce the risk of motor vehicle theft.
(2) If so, what response has been given to the Motor Trades Association.
(3) What steps have been taken towards implementing the motor industry's recommendations on reducing thefts.
(4) What contact has been made with relevant State Ministers to ensure the adoption of Australia-wide procedures on reducing motor vehicle theft.
Ms Follett: The answer to Mr Jensen's question is as follows:
(1) Yes.
(2) I advised the association on 27 October 1989 that arrangements are in hand to integrate ACT vehicle encumbrance information into the NSW register of encumbered vehicles later this year and that the register has the potential to assist in the recovery of stolen vehicles.
(3) See answer to preceding point.
(4) The Standing Committee of Attorneys-General has the issue of interstate car thefts on its agenda. The ACT is now separately represented on that committee. Coordination between jurisdictions is essential for any effective measures to be taken on this matter and the standing committee is an appropriate forum for this to occur.
