Road Safety

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:57): Supplementary: are you backtracking to that report now that you have read it and implementing any more of those findings on the South Eastern Freeway, given that there has been a report after the 2010 incident?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:57): I thank the member for his question. I am actually relying on advice myself and I am sure the Minister for Transport—we rely on advice from the department which is now based on the current research and current evidence, so unless the member for Mitchell is suggesting we should ignore the process we went through last year with the industry and just ignore all their recommendations and their knowledge, perhaps he should say so.

Mr Goldsworthy interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel is warned a second and final time.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: What we are doing is working with the industry to make sure our roads are safer for all.
