There are calls for an urgent truck licensing reform in Victoria, sparked in part by the Eastern Freeway tragedy that saw four police officers killed. To discuss further, we spoke to Victorian Transport Association President, Peter Anderson. @VTAComms #7NEWS

NHVR welcomes a commitment from all governments to ensure the on-going movement of all heavy vehicles across state borders. While a range of border restrictions are due to come into place tomorrow, all freight movements will continue ensuring certainty for operators.

*** UPDATE - All freight movements exempt across all States from border control restrictions (including OSOM) *** #coronavirusaus #covid19 #withouttrucksaustraliastops
We're lifting curfew restrictions on trucks across Victoria to increase supermarket stock deliveries. This may mean a bit more heavy vehicle traffic & noise in some areas. But I think we can all agree it's a small price to pay to ensure stores are stocked & shelves are full.

Great to speak with @VTAComms CEO Peter Anderson at their state conference, where I talked about our new arbitration function for owner drivers that will start in May. The function will provide a process for a binding decision to be made to resolve a dispute. #smallbiz

Australia has lost one of its finest today with the passing of Tim Fischer AC. Tim was a giant of the National Party. He embodied loyalty, kindness & courage. Regional Australia had no better friend. Heartfelt thoughts & condolences with Tim’s wife Judy, sons Harrison & Dominic.
