In it, Mr Hidding states, “Strong community awareness campaigns … have a shock factor that experts tell us is effective in changing driver behaviour”. This perspective from the minister indicates that he has researched and is appropriately referring to the views of the authorities on the subject – noteworthy in terms of being well informed, rather than relying on common knowledge.

In reference to the Road Safety Advisory Council’s 10-Year Safety Strategy, Mr Hidding takes the consultative approach to mention, “I encourage members of the public to have their say and help shape this strategy”. This perspective from the Minister indicates that he supports the concept of community consultation, which is considered an important part of policy development.

This is fairly significant in terms that policy analysts acknowledge that it is important for politicians to do so, to ensure effective and successful policy implementation.

PETER DUTTON has my full support. I can hear the keyboards of the do-gooders hammering away now.

The media has a lot to answer for when it comes to this problem. Every time Mr Dutton says it how it is, Sarah Hanson-Young, Richard Di Natale and of course Bill Shorten want to have their politically safe and point scoring comment heard against him .

The media seem hell-bent on finding someone that has something to say against the policy (usually an unknown but with title).

I would like to ask the advocates for refugee increase, have you people got a spare room or house that you would put up for a family at no charge, or would you want rent from the government to support these people and are you willing to feed and look after them until they learn our language, culture, manners, etc?
