HOOD (14:34):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure regarding regional roads. What is the government's position regarding the proposed changes to the federal government's regulatory impact analysis to reduce the open road default speed limits and does the government support lowering speed limits on regional roads?</text>

BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (14:34):</by>  I appreciate that those opposite want to fast-forward to the end of this conversation, but, as you would be aware, this process is a federal government process. It is one that has enabled people to provide feedback and it is one that will, I dare say, be discussed at future ITMM committees that we have, where ministers get to come together to discuss such agenda items; this is the appropriate forum to be having those discussions. There is a reason why the federal government has gone out and undertaken a review. I know that there are members who have participated, potentially, in that forum. I look forward to hearing that feedback and having that discussion at a state and federal level.</text>
