Business Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2018)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to speak to the motion. Our small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of the economy, whether it be in the retail sector, small contractors, the tourism industry or community groups. Instead of feeling supported, our small and medium-sized businesses feel they are being neglected by the Government, including on the issue of commercial rates, an issue we...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Robert Troy: The Minister should not keep talking about the quality of the amendments. He is being pedantic. He has chosen to focus on one element of a report on the period between 2008 and 2012 and ignored what contributed to the vast majority of fatalities, instead bringing in an amendment to disqualify people with between 50 mg and 80 mg of alcohol in their system. He is saying he does not want to...
