This measure was the subject of extensive deliberation between the state and territory transport ministers. We regard it as a responsible course of action. We believe it is the right measure, and it has been supported by responsible elements of the nation’s trucking industry. We support the measure; and those opposite, if they were being responsible, would do the same.
