Roadside cameras to make $94 million less than Queensland government expectations (www.abc.net.au)

In short: Queensland has a range of roadside cameras to detect offences such as speeding, mobile phone use, and not wearing a seatbelt.
The government has significantly revised how much it expects to make from cameras with revenue in 2023-24 tipped to fall $94 million short.
What's next? The cameras are now projected to make $409 million in 2023-24, followed by $465.8 million in 2024-25.

Brace yourself for a reduction in tolerance. Government relies on that speed camera income so if there's a shortfall they'll stop dropping the percent tolerances until we hit the 1kph over fines they hand out in Victoria.

brace yourself for reduction in tolerance

The financial incentive helps, but nearly any risk reduction initiative will try the easiest approach (ie, lower tolerances vs stricter licensing), and continually crank the screws to breaking point.
