Fines issued - Sydney Opal
Dear NSW Office of State Revenue and/or State Debt Recovery Office
I'm writing to request statistics on fines issued by revenue protection officers, and NSW police officers in the period since the introduction of the opal card system, 2013-17.
Specifically, the amount of revenue generated in this period, and if possible, the number of fines issued.
If possible, please treat this as an administrative/informal request. Otherwise please proceed with my request as a formal information request under the FOI Act.
Yours faithfully,
Kate Bettes
