Raw Numbers

[regan]

I have recently spoken to a friend whom is employed by a Federal Minister as an adviser, he has done some digging around and spoken to DOTARS employees whom administer the Raws(Importing) system .

The unofficial word is that the Department has set a maximum number of RAW,s per state based on a per/capita basis.

N.S.W -28

VIC -25

W.A - 14

TAS -6

S.A -16

N.T -11

Q.L.D-26

These figures are based on budget and staffing levels at D.O.T.A.R.S (Dept Of Transport and Regional Services)

These numbers are what the Dept will allow(unofficially) and can administer with -in its budget forecast 03/04 .

It will only allow additional numbers of RAWS if existing RAW,s cancel there approvals are or disallowed from the system.

I would love to get this in writting!!!!!!!!
