Luke BonaHOST
He says, my name is Lachlan and I'm a young truck driver who tried to upgrade my licence through the company I work for, which is a big corporate company.
Luke BonaHOST
But the Queensland Department of Transport wanted wouldn't allow it because there being safety monitoring cameras inside the truck that can't be deactivated because it's against the privacy and safety of the testing officer, which meant I wasn't allowed to upgrade my license, even though we had two drivers of this company use the exact same truck with cameras.
Luke BonaHOST
And it wasn't a problem then.
Luke BonaHOST
Do you understand what he's saying here?
Andrew WrightHOST
there's just so many examples of this happening which to the normal eye you just wouldn't think.
Andrew WrightHOST
I mean I've got a site now in Longreach where I've gone to the Department of Main Roads and said, hey, this is 100 k's an hour now.
Andrew WrightHOST
Can we slow this down so I can allow trucks to safely slow down in the site? They just said no.
Andrew WrightHOST
you're going to have to widen the road.
John ScarceGUEST
And I just pulled all the staff together and said, well, if it wasn't for the parks and gardens and it wasn't for the water and sewage, which are our main functions that we have to deliver, we wouldn't be able to go out and do these road crews, road work.
John ScarceGUEST
So I want to get the bonuses that we're getting from Queensland Main Roads at the time to give across the whole organisation.
John ScarceGUEST
And everybody was generally accepting of that and things like that.
John ScarceGUEST
So I saw that's the same way with this four-day week.

Well, if you go to the Queensland Transport Department's website, still, if you go there right now, you'll still see their own zero emission bus program.

And it still says that every new bus from 2025 will be zero emissions, basically aim to cut bus fleet emissions by 50% by 2030, 80% by 2035.
Sam ParkinsonHOST
And they've been trialing electric buses, battery electric buses since 2021.

It is the same date stamp, hours later, and the brain has already left the paddock.
