The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport is aware of the report from the AAA as is the government more broadly. The findings are of great interest to the government while we are looking at future arrangements when it comes to the Keys 2 Drive program. The minister, as I understand it, has been working very closely with stakeholders and will of course be talking to the Australian Automobile Association about that report. I can only reiterate that this issue of safety for our young people on the roads is one that is absolutely paramount for this government.
As a mother, having had two young boys go through the process of getting their licence, I think we all, as I indicated before in this chamber, want to ensure that our young people are as safe as they possibly can be on our roads.
