Minister, in relation to our most vulnerable road users, children, there's the chance to make our roads safer around schools. We've had a number of incidents and one fatality earlier this year in my electorate. I'm wondering what sort of approach the government would consider in relation to improving safety around schools. I did write to you earlier, so I'm just wondering what you might do.
Honourable Speaker, I thank Ms Johnston, the member for Clark, for bringing this motion forward and working it through so comprehensively. We read it very closely and take a strong interest in this and for opportunities to improve this.
