Michael McLaren speaks with Sam Farraway, Shadow Minister for Regional Transport and Roads / Member of The Nationals, about road safety which has had a shocking year.

Ten people were killed on the roads last weekend, the worst for fatalities for decades.  The NSW road toll for 2023 currently stands at 347 as of last Sunday, which is 77 more than the same time last year. 

When it comes to Sydney, we’ve had the recent opening of the Rozelle Interchange which was designed to ease the city’s congestion but it’s had more than its share of teething problems.

But if you’re heading west  and need to use the Great Western Highway, nothing has improved…. and with two serious accidents involving trucks at Blackheath in the past 24 hours which involved closing the road, it’s getting worse.
