Federal government ignoring Toll Group’..
A senior trucking executive has not received a response from the federal government to his plan to reduce the nation’s road toll.
Toll Group Managing Director Michael Byrne sent an open letter to a number of organisations in January, calling on them to urgently address six critical areas – including a genuinely national approach to heavy vehicle regulation.
Mr Byrne tells Ray Hadley a key piece of road safety compliance technology is still being blocked due to a number of small groups “protecting their own interests”.
“Electronic work diaries have been debated for eight years and we still don’t have a decision.
“The government and the industry have been stuffing around with this for the best part of a decade.
Mr Bryne tells Ray he’s written to state and federal governments about the road toll crisis and has heard crickets.
