Road Safety

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:06): My question is for the Minister for Police and Road Safety. Can the minister inform the house how many drink or drug drivers have been caught driving in school zones this year?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for his question. I don't have those figures before me. However, I can say that it doesn't matter whether you are in front of a school or anywhere, on any roads. To drink-drive or have drugs is a serious offence and, of course, where police identify those persons, the law will be enforced.
