Although the vehicle licensing system is "A tidy little earner" his "Concerns" aren't really an issue to my way of thinking ... They'd have to fund their schemes some other way.
While in opposition, MP Phil Twyford called the annual vehicle licensing system and its 235,000 fines each year a "giant revenue gathering device".
Twyford said he was concerned the current vehicle licensing system, which raised $469 million last year, cost taxpayers $50m to administer.
"I'm also concerned about the 235,000 people a year who don't pay their rego fees on time and then end up getting dragged through the courts, clogging up our justice system and costing people a disproportionate amount of time and money for a minor offence."
If they paid their rego ... they wouldn't "Get dragged through the Courts" ...

Perhaps ... he's unaware OTHER councils exist ... and use the same revenue gathering system ...
