YOUR SAY: Should safe drivers have the chance to shed demerit points faster? NSW drivers who remain infringement-free will be rewarded by the removal of a demerit point in just 12 months under a proposal from the Labor government. 9News READ MORE:

Currently, it takes three years from the time of the initial offence to have a demerit point removed.

Labor claims the current state government's focus is on revenue raising, alleging that removing speed camera warning signs saw penalties jump from $4 million in 2020 to $41 million in 2021 and $40 million in 2022 for "low range speeding offences".Yes"One death on our roads is one death too many. But after a number of deaths already recorded this holiday period, we need a new approach," Opposition Leader Chris Minns said.

Very good

No...

Would the unvaxed be able too as well , or because they are allegedly more of a chance for them to have car crash they won't be able too

Yes for BS fines like driving on bridge that as only bus lanes and no warning signs prior to turning on it like at bardon ridge nsw

Fantastic policy by the NSW LABOUR govt. something more for the people.

This is a stupid idea I'll just lose my license for 6 months and get all my points back

translation so many people are being fined from hidden speed cameras that they are losing their licence cant work and we lose tax revenue

Yes. Incentivising good behaviour rather than only punishing bad behaviour feels like a no-brainer.

NSW Labor proposes demerit point overhaulA New South Wales Labor government has pledged to overhaul the demerit point system to reward safe drivers if it wins the upcoming state election. A trial which would start later this year would see NSW drivers have their demerit points expire faster for those who maintain a good driving record. They should do an extensive advanced driver training if they get to 10 points. What about rewarding drivers that never get demerits? Wow top priority stuff right there. Not like the price of fuel, food and gas are anything to worry about

NSW Labor unveils eight-point pokies planNew South Wales opposition leader Chris Minns has unveiled an eight-point plan to reform gambling across the state. An elected NSW Labor government will slash the number of pokies machines, ban political donations from clubs with pokies and enforce a mandatory cashless gaming trial. AHA director of Liquor and Policing John Green discusses the impact of trailing of 500 pokies machines in New South Wales. “The important thing is that now we have a trial that will be properly evaluated,” Mr Green told Sky News Australia. “There might be a significant on pubs and clubs and staff in venues so lets do the trial, lets evaluate it and then make some evidence-based decisions.” And the plan is BS, drivel, useless and totally approved by the industry it is supposed to regulate. More payoffs to politicians? Needs to tackle online gambling. Forget pokies.
