Mr. Sam Waide:

On what has not changed, unfortunately, the killer behaviours persist – speeding, drug-driving, drink-driving, mobile phone use while driving and non-seatbelt wearing. Unfortunately, the killer behaviours have not changed to an extent where in some areas, they are getting worse.

To echo Professor Cusack’s point, the positive here is that a number of these areas are addressed within the strategy. We have a good session today so we can get into more details on that. I refer to the importance of the actions in the strategy. The strategy is a live document. If it needs to be changed, it can be. We reviewed it already at the start of 2023. We have pulled out priorities within the strategy, including addressing the killer behaviours. As I stated in my opening statement, the need to tackle those killer behaviours is multidimensional - from an education and campaign perspective, from an enforcement perspective and from a consequential perspective. What I mean is that we can educate and enforce but when the persons get to court, there needs to be a consequence. Part of our messaging within the RSA has been trying to highlight, particularly to young people, which the Deputy mentioned, the consequences of losing your licence. It could change your life for the next ten-plus years. Your friends, colleagues and peers will be able to travel the world, go travelling and go working. Many opportunities will be closed down because you lost your licence. We have tried to focus on those particular cohorts of people.

Perhaps I will bring in my colleague, Ms O’Connor, who has been involved in some of that work. She could come in now or later. Perhaps she can touch upon it at this point.
