That speeding fine you’ve ignored? Prepare for a debt collection agent in your future.
The government has introduced legislation to reform the State Penalties Enforcement Register (SPER) as the current system can no longer handle the number of fines, or the “complexity” of the outstanding debt.
The increase in the number of tolled roads across the state and additional speed cameras is partly to blame for the larger volume of fines, which in turn has led to the need to reform how outstanding monies is collected.
Last year, Treasurer Tim Nicholls wrote off $100 million in outstanding fines. The government was chasing a further $774 million from 2.8 million individual debts. If left unchecked, fine dodgers will have outrun the government to the tune of $1 billion by 2016-17.
Hence the reform.
“Most people who get a fine and do the right thing and pay it when it’s due but there are 1700 debtors who have a single debt of more than $5000 and 25,000* debtors who have 20 or more debts adding up to more than $5000 in total,” Mr Nicholls said in a statement.
“Reform of the process is needed because in recent years, we’ve seen the volume and the complexity of debts referred to SPER grow significantly.
“The government has given the commitment that we’ll take steps to collect those outstanding fines – every dollar not paid has to be made up for by the people of Queensland.”
The amendments to the SPER legislation will mean a broker, appointed by the government will manage a panel of debt collection companies, an initiative which was trialled earlier this year.
Debtors who can’t or won’t pay, will remain the responsibility of SPER. The transition is predicted to cost about $26 million over four years, but the government is not anticipating job losses will be part of the process.
It hopes the new system, once the legislation is passed, will net an additional $6 million in outstanding fines each year.
* Correction: This figure has been changed from 25 to 25,000.

Federal privacy authorities have been called in after Centrelink left revealing personal and financial details of clients lying around at a suburban railway station last month.
Documents containing details of 23 clients’ full financial disclosures, including bank account numbers and details of property holdings, superannuation and investments, were left by an official from the welfare agency at Darra in the southern suburbs of Brisbane in mid-July.
Centrelink insiders say that sensitive and private information is now routinely carried around on trains, buses and officials’ cars, and often stored at public servants’ homes, after a system of transporting the material in government vehicles was abandoned to cut costs.
The lost documents also contained the dates of birth, phone numbers, relationship details, home addresses and phone numbers, and the loss was only discovered when a Queensland Rail worker called one of the people whose file was lost.
The Department of Human Services says it is taking the “unacceptable” incident seriously and that such data breaches are “extremely rare”.
But the department would not say if the rest of the 23 clients affected by the loss of their private information had been notified.
The Canberra Times believes that the senior Centrelink worker is now under investigation for a breach of The Privacy Act and a potential Australian Public Service Code of Conduct breach, but is still working with potentially sensitive client data.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissionerconfirmed on Monday that it had been notified of the breach but did not provide details of what action would be taken.
A DHS spokeswoman said the lost documents were recovered quickly and that the department was investigating the breach.
“While the information relating to 23 customers was quickly recovered by the department from a Queensland Rail employee, we do not dismiss the serious nature of the incident,” she said.
“Privacy and security of personal customer records is of paramount importance, and any incident of this nature is investigated under well-established privacy processes.
“Department staff deal with tens of thousands of customers every day and these types of incidents are extremely rare.
“However, any incident that places customer privacy at risk is unacceptable.”
The spokeswoman for the department defended its record on protecting client privacy.
DHS recorded 471 “substantiated privacy incidents” in the 2012-13 financial year, a 3 per cent decrease from 2011–12, from tens of millions of client interactions.

Contraste
Como o Fortaleza voltará a jogar só na segunda feira (25), contra o Águia em Marabá, há tempo disponível para ajustes. Aliás, terrível contraste: após jogar em dois cenários da Copa (Castelão e Pantanal), vai para o pequenino Estádio Zinho de Oliveira.

Oscilação
O técnico Marcelo Chamusca tem de apertar seu grupo, exigindo empenho continuado. O time jogou belo futebol na vitória sobre o Salgueiro no Castelão. Quando se espera uma sequência, joga mal em Cuiabá. Segurar o padrão é uma necessidade.

Valorização
Oliveira Canindé foi com o América/RN a São Januário e empatou com o Vasco (1 x 1). No Maracanã eliminou da Copa do Brasil o Fluminense (5 x 2). Veio a Juazeiro e bateu no Icasa. Campeão brasileiro (Série D), campeão do Nordestão. Só não é valorizado aqui.

Não justifica
O cearense Elanardo, que tantas vezes elogiei por seu desempenho no Itapipoca, Icasa e outros clubes, teve atitude reprovável no jogo Cuiabá 1 x 1 Fortaleza. Agora no Cuiabá, ele, sem razão, apelou para o jogo violento contra atletas do Leão. Absurdo.

Frustração
Verdade é que a rodada geral do fim de semana frustrou o torcedor cearense. Ceará e Icasa perderam. O Fortaleza empatou (1 x 1), mas sua apresentação foi ruim. Salvou-se da derrota pela anulação do legítimo gol de Careca, do Cuiabá.

Ascensão
O Vasco da Gama definitivamente entrou numa fase de ascensão. Nove pontos nos últimos três jogos. Douglas tem feito a diferença. E mais: já marcou seis gols de “bola parada”. o Vasco tem o ataque mais positivo da competição. E produção crescente.
