Ms DUNN (Eastern Metropolitan) — My constituency question is on behalf of a constituent in Doncaster and is directed to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. The question pertains to registration concessions and stamp duty exemptions for privately owned wheelchair-accessible motor vehicles. Could the minister please confirm, firstly, that stamp duty is exempt for a private vehicle whether it is to be driven by an incapacitated person or for a passenger in a wheelchair? My constituent points out to me that guidance on this matter from the State Revenue Office is not clear because it only states that the vehicle is modified to allow an incapacitated person in a wheelchair to access the vehicle. Secondly, could the minister confirm that the stamp duty exemption applies on initial registration and on transfer of registration of an already registered vehicle?
