OK, not sure where this has come from, but I used to work for Transport SA in 2000/2001, and Registration and Licensing fees valued at $205,352,000 went straight into the revenue and budget for the department to operate. Total revenue including other fees and services(Inspections, custom license plates etc etc etc) came to $497,663,000 for the 2001 year. Now I dont know how things are done in Vic, but over here, the money you pay for registration services goes straight into the department and gets spent on roads and services, it doesnt get sent back to the government. Ever. If you do, they cut your budget for the next year.
Now the revenue from the government appropriation that year was only $16,155,000, which is chicken feed compared to that taken in registration fees.
