The Greens also are very pleased to see that this road safety strategy has been released, and we look forward to the work that needs to be done to implement the strategy so that we can have safety on our roads for all road users. In particular we note the significance of the need to be acting on road safety for the safety of cyclists, noting that cyclists comprise three per cent of all road fatalities and 15 per cent of all road hospitalisations. We look forward to the implementation of this road safety strategy so that we can reduce the number of deaths overall on our roads, particularly making cycling safer for all Australians.

Question agreed to.
