Remember the last few days of the Brisbane government budget from fiscal year 2018 to 2019? That`s the perfect $3.1 billion annual budget.
The plan aims to address road congestion, improve urban traffic and create a livable and sustainable city.
That sounds good. The budget increases, the welfare is sure to rise, the cities are better, and life is more interesting to think about. The budget is up, the welfare is going to go up, the city is going to be a better place, life is much more interesting.
But when the budget increases, where does the extra $22 million come from?
Guess not to come from everyone`s wallets, will not be to impose more fines?!
Yes, Brisbane`s government plans to earn millions of Australian dollars from fines to support budget spending.
At Monday`s budget information conference, lifestyle and community service president Matthew Bourke was asked how much of the 22 million Australian dollars would be made up of fines.
Nor did Mr Bourke evade it.
He said about A $7.3 million would come from fines.
Of these, about A $3 million comes from fines for illegal parking.
Chauffeur friends quickly hold their wallets tight, but stop parking and break the traffic rules, government this time must be to investigate the violation of the rules and regulations!
Speaking, how are these figures calculated?
If everyone obeys the law, is not the budget going to run a deficit?
It`s a bit of a mystery. Do you want us to break the rules or not?
Mr. Bourke also stated:
"illegal parking, squalor in the courtyard, littering, dog attacks on people and substandard food hygiene will all affect public health and safety, all of which need to be rectified."
"to raise drivers` awareness of parking restrictions, government has invested more than 6 million over the past two years to upgrade parking signs and other measures, as well as educational programs on food safety and pet-keeping responsibilities."
But opposition spokesman Kara Cook disagreed with government`s increase in fines in Brisbane.
"this is unfair, Brisbane City Council should serve the residents, not fine!"
"ultimately, government should address these problems by investing in public education, rather than simply passing fines and forecasting the revenue of fines!"
When it comes to Brisbane`s fine, I`m afraid we have a deep understanding of the extent of the mental illness caused by Brisbane`s fine.
Last year, a Brisbane beauty was issued a A $243 ticket because he suddenly broke his lipstick and dropped to the ground and didn`t pick it up in time!
Another man accidentally dropped a tissue and got a ticket!
Another man said the police hid in the corner to observe, deliberately until they threw cigarette butts to jump out of the fine!
In Fortitude Valley alone, only 5891 fines have been imposed in a year, but the amount of fines is as high as A $1.5 million, with an average penalty of $255a!

Fines are simply the main way for the city`s government to make a lot of money.
Parking fines are the most common and the largest, especially for residents living in large urban areas.
