The Opposition will get a lively debate, which we welcome.
I support Senator Ryan's call for statements on the behaviour of truck drivers. They are a disgrace and seem to be answerable to no one, especially late at night when they think they have a clear road to themselves. I have recent experience of their behaviour and was terrified by it because they were undoubtedly driving in excess of the speed limit. I do not know to whom they are accountable. They seem to be a law unto themselves when they take to the road because they have the mighty power by virtue of the weight of their trucks. I would welcome the possibility of debating this issue.
