1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda. You must be happy

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: with the knowledge that Double Demerits will be scrapped for

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: New South Wales andtoy in October for the first time.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: Do you mean for the long weekend, for the long

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: week and the hard thing is, so let's before we

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: talk about them being scrapped. What normally happens is we

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: have Monday holiday, but the double Demerits kick in it

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: like Thursday midnight and go to Christmas or something.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: It just seems to go not Monday.

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Is Monday midnight?

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so why are they're scrapping them.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: David Elliott, our police minister, says that we've just had

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: too many rules. We've been ruled and regulated for months

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: and he says, look, we can't travel anywhere anywhere, so

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: let's not we know in a Melbourne situation happening.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: Where everyone is just a breaking point. Yeah, so does

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: that mean you can you can speed? No, like there's

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: still be a police presence.

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: Clear from you.

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm being clear. I know that you drive your

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: car like James Brown leading into state police chase. But

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: what it means for people like you because how many

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: points that you got left.

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: On you I'm too scared to look.

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: The hard thing is I only ever get done early

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: in the morning when there's no one around, and that's

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: easy with my car to I could be eighty, could

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: be one hundred and eighty.

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: I don't even know my car is, just does it.

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: A cynical people person might say that double demerits don't actually.

31
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: Work, and feel that person.

32
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I am that person. They're a way of making Laura

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: abiding people like yourself lose their license quicker. The other

34
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: thing is when you get a green slip for your

35
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: car registration, there's a bit there that says how many

36
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: points have you lost. The more points that you lose,

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: the more you have to pay for your green slip.

38
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: So a cynical person, so.

39
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: It's money raising.

40
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Iame would say this is one way of just pumping

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: up all the coffers, because imagine you, Laura abiding, Amanda

42
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: goes out of the.

43
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: Laura biding that's my driver's license.

44
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Wasting my time.

45
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: No, I'm listening.

46
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: So if you go over the speed limit and you lose,

47
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: say a double demerits, your ten k's out of the

48
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: speed limit, you lose, I think you usually that's a

49
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: two point thing. So you lose four points, so your

50
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: license is getting less and less. You're already down to

51
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: the very end of your license.

52
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: But the point is I can still be done for speeding,

53
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: but it won't be double.

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yep, so just back the pedal off the metal man.

55
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, it's interesting that they're recognized.

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean we're in the purge. Okay, on the

57
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: weekend and we all go crazy like we're in some

58
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: post apocablyptic world like Mad Max.

59
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: But this is so unlike what we normally have where

60
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: they're repealing this, isn't it. It's so unusual for them

61
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: to say, you're under enough stress, we'll pull this back.

62
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I went to the RTA and I was just dealing

63
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: with some stuff in the holidays, and there was this

64
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to boy with the details of particular

65
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: paperwork that they've changed the rules on, and I said, oh,

66
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: come on, this rule makes no sense, and the lady said,

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't. Let's just do it.

68
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: Really, you had a human.

69
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, a human, and really the roads and maritime and

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: how good are you the service in New South Wales

71
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: you just went through there, And she goes, let's just

72
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: let's just get this done.

73
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: You know I've lost twenty points, but I don't think

74
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 3: guy should have it. She said, you know what, You're

75
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: right like you.

76
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: Let's just do it here. You take the money.

77
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: Jonesy and Amanda's generation
