Total revenue from speed and red light cameras in NSW during the last financial year was $65 million: https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/help-centre/resources-library/All-speeding-and-red-light-camera-detected-offences-DSF-010.xlsx https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/help-centre/resources-library...
Total revenue for the NSW government in that year was $81 billion, with a budget surplus of $800 million: https://www.budget.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/budget-2019-06/Appendices-A4-BP1-Budget_201920.pdf https://www.budget.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/budget-201...
