Drug Driving

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:16): Supplementary: can the minister confirm that the fatalities or injuries that he is quoting in the statistics he has given us today relate to people who were under the influence, we assume, of recreational psychoactive cannabis and not non-psychoactive medical cannabis?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:16): To the best of my knowledge, the statistics that I referred to do not distinguish between the two. They simply refer to what we measure for, which is the presence of those respective drugsā€”in this case, THC within the system of those drivers or riders.
