Many of those who drive and have accidents have taken drugs. The incidence of this is increasing. It is a significant factor in Australia and I am sure it is a factor here. It is increasing in the United Kingdom too where there are moves to implement drug-testing. Will the Minister of State outline a timeframe within which we might introduce drug-testing? Does the Government believe this issue warrants attention? I would support any drug-testing measures put in place.
