Coroners Bill and road safety

Summary

Senator Sheahan asks when the Coroners Bill will arrive and requests a ministerial debate on changing road-safety risks, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.

I wish to ask the Leader the whereabouts of the Coroners Bill and when it can be expected in the House. This is one area that badly needs modernisation as it is an antiquated service or exercise. It needs to be made more humane.

Could the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport come to the House to have a debate on road safety? There has been a significant change in the profile of road deaths. Further road safety legislation or directives need to be put in place, in particular, with regard to pedestrians and cyclists. I would appreciate a debate as soon as possible.
