Liam Bartlett: Calls for accountability after 11 ministers ‘nabbed’ breaking road rules

Liam Bartlett has called out WA Government ministers who he says push road safety but aren’t taking the rules seriously themselves.

The Mornings presenter has questioned whether there should be further consequences for ministers who break the road law.

“Now remember, many of these ministers of the crown spend less time behind the wheel themselves than mere mortals like you and me,” he stated.

“And yet many of them have still managed to rack up multiple fines across multiple years.”

Bartlett also questioned the fact that the Independent Road Safety Commissioner Adrian Warner could not speak about the issue on the program.

“The ‘independent’ commissioner has been gagged by the Premier, which makes his office something of a joke,” he said.

“And clearly, I think safe to say, as weak as water.”

The Road Safety Commission has since provided the below statement, refuting the claims the Road Safety Commissioner, Adrian Warner, was gagged by the Premier’s office in any way.

“Not speeding is the easiest way to make every journey safe. That includes driving to the conditions and low-level speeding.”
