Sydney,Australia -ATA/The Friday Facts -23 Sept 2011: -- Trucking industry representatives met Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister: Anthony Albanese yesterday to discuss the progress of the national truck laws... The delegation was led by ATA Chairman David Simon... David said the national truck law package had been split into two bills, with the first one now being considered by ministers. The second bill will be completed next year, with a statement of guiding principles to be agreed by early November... In line with the decision taken at last week’s ATA Council meeting, the delegation argued the following issues also needed to be addressed:* the bills must provide a more effective access decision making framework;
* they must enhance NHVR’s power of direction and oversight regarding state agencies and police;
* the chain of responsibility and code of practice provisions must be corrected;
* they must enhance the governance of the NHVR;
* they must properly provide for the disallowance of regulations when the majority of parliaments agree; and
* the NHVR must be adequately resourced. Funds and resources should be transferred from government agencies, with cost savings transparently reported and passed back to industry.
