"The staggering revenue totals we are seeing from speed cameras clearly shows Annastacia Palaszczuk’s Labor Government is treating Queensland motorists as cash cows.
"A single speed camera costing Queenslanders almost $5000 an hour is not about road safety - it’s blatant revenue raising for Labor Government coffers.
"The Labor Government got rid of the requirement for mobile speed camera units to display ‘speed camera in use’ signs to alert motorists to the camera.
"The LNP would bring back the signs and stop leeching from the wallets of everyday motorists.
"The Palaszczuk Labor Government is planning a windfall 46 per cent increase in speed camera fines with revenue to reach $194 million by 2020/2021.
"Fines are skyrocketing because of a greedy Labor Government.
"Research shows overt police presence and enforcement has a major impact on driver behaviour and the RACQ and Police Union support bringing back the signs.
"The LNP want to save lives and for motorists to be safe on the road, but we don’t want to rip Queenslanders off.
"That is why the LNP would reintroduce the ‘speed camera in use’ policy to return the focus to saving lives, not revenue raising."
