Uneven playing field

Well, bugger me. The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) has been critical of the National Transport Commission (NTC). According to the ATA, the NTC has been sitting on its bum for how many years supposedly revamping the road transport regulations. Suddenly, when the ATA goes public with its displeasure at the lack of action, the NTC revealed that it had been considering lowering the legal time allowed to operate a heavy vehicle within a 24-hour time bracket.

So many of the current regulations promoted as fatigue management tools are a farce – and the NTC in its stupidity considers lowering the maximum time allowed. Heaven forbid and protect us
