Constituency questions
Northern Victoria Region
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL
Northern Victoria Region
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:54): (51) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and is concerning the recent rise in vehicle accidents resulting in fatalities within the Northern Victoria Region. Most recently – in fact last Sunday just past – a 19-year-old man was killed within kilometres of my own road. Numerous constituents have raised concerns with me pertaining to the noticeable disregard for general road safety. In an effort to keep our community safe and give guidance to our youngest road users, also assuming there is provision for road safety campaigns within the budget, how does the government intend to address this issue?
