Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
Senator Kitt talked about the responsibility on local government for road marking. I see around the country exactly what he described – different standards in different counties. Responsibility for the carnage on the roads is not just in the hands of the drivers alone. On occasions there is very bad signage and we can do something about that. The answer lies in the hands of local government and we should find some way of encouraging it to raise its standards in that area and thereby reduce the number of deaths on the road. I am happy to have the opportunity to speak on this Bill and give those thoughts to the Minister.
