My opening remark was just in terms of people's correlation in their minds. I am well aware of the terms of the distribution of funds, collation of funds and so forth. My primary concern is that if a quarter of a billion goes off the books, how is the Department seeking to replace it? When is the issue going to be addressed? Will it be in this budgetary cycle? It has been pointed out that already, despite more vehicles being taxed, income keeps decreasing year on year.
