Thank you for the positive feedback about the information we provided for members to better understand the implications of how this impacts your business, and importantly how to communicate this to your clients.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">It has been very encouraging to also hear that plenty of members have been seeking immediate advice from their accountants to understand cash flow variations and the implications for your fuel levies/surcharges.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">The Federal Government's decision to reduce the fuel excise has lead to various interpretations on how this has impacted the road freight industry. We provided a view that clearly articulated the relationship between the excise and the road user charge to indicate the modest benefit to the road freight industry compared to the general motorist.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">This approach to the excise reduction without consideration of reducing the road user charge has left this industry being treated unfairly. It is our firm position that the road freight industry should be receiving the same benefit 50% reduction as the general motorist.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">We are strongly advocating on your behalf for a 50% reduction in the road user charge. If it is fair for a 50% reduction to the excise for the general motorist then the same should apply to road freight.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">I strongly urge you all to play a role by contacting Local Members and let them know what you think as well. Many voices, one clear message. Send them a copy of our Budget Issue with your message.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">It is fundamentally important to band together and spread a consistent message.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; text-align: justify; font-size: 13px; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">Please continue to contact me to discuss any issues that are impacting your region or business in the lead up to the Federal Election.

The only other successful prosecution to date has been against a company (see article <a href="https://sites-dwf.vuturevx.com/e/teuo3a8e3lmveag/a6904c1f-188a-456d-b331-1b7d8c0925eb" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #0612f0;">here</a>).</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">The conviction related to an incident on 3 July 2019 at Owen's Electric Motor Rewinds in Gympie, Queensland, where Mr Owen negligently caused the death of a worker when a forklift was overloaded, tipped and fatally struck the worker. Specifically, it was alleged that Mr Owen was not licensed to operate the forklift and the forklift did not have sufficient lifting capacity to unload the generator from the truck, the rear wheels of the forklift having come off the ground when it took on the load. The business also had no documented health and safety procedures. In addition, there were other methods which were available to the business to unload the generator (at little cost) that weren't used by the business.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 19.5px;"><span style="font-size:13px;">While all industrial manslaughter convictions to date have involved small companies with little to no safety management systems, this case still serves a timely reminder to all corporate officers and managers (not just directors) that they need to continue to 'ensure' that due diligence systems are both carried out carefully and reviewed regularly, in order to avoid the very real risk of large fines and/or potential custodial sentences for individuals for serious incidents and fatalities in the workplace.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 21px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size:13px;">If you require further information or have any queries in relation to this legal update, please contact a member of our Health and Safety team.
