Green Party on agencies admission of failure on road toll

From Morning Report, 8:17 am on 23 December 2022

Government agencies are admitting failure in their attempts to make roads safer.

The road toll has soared this year and targets set under the nationwide Road to Zero plan - which is supposed to see an incremental reduction in road deaths - have been deemed unrealistic.

Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter - who was the Government's associate minister of transport when the Road to Zero strategy was launched three years ago - spoke to Charlotte Cook.
