Members are also reporting that the rate of double vaccinations is also progressing well with the deadline looming on 15 November for freight and logistics. With the Queensland border open date 17 December the general public is being encouraged to get vaccinated now.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">As a personal note on behalf of the QTA team and the Board, we commend you for the exemplary effort made to adhere to the requirements with yet another professional industry response. While we expect current border requirements to remain for some time, we have formally raised with authorities what 'open' borders will mean. As we have through the pandemic, we will continue to advocate for common sense protocols and rules for industry. In particular, we have proposed the removal of ongoing testing for fully vaccinated drivers entering into Queensland post the double vaccination deadline on 15 November. We will keep you updated on this.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12px;"><em>HVNL Review</em></span></strong></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">As many of you have probably read in various media, the review of the Heavy Vehicle National Law has taken a large commitment of time by our team and those of you who have made comments or contributions to industry meetings and submissions. The review held such significant promise for this country and the future development of the road freight industry but unfortunately recent indications are that this review is simply an enduring disappointment.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; text-align: justify; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">As an example, the Fatigue Management proposal sets out rules as muddled as ever. In this review we expected recommendations that display clarity of thought with a rationale that demonstrates a concerted joint approach from industry and authorities.

This proposal does have merit, however we must be mindful of the commencement timeframes optimistically suggested by Australian Industry Standards. We know from the regular engagement we have with you that you need drivers <strong>now. </strong>Although the concept of a driving apprenticeship may fill a longer term need to place drivers into the industry, there are many aspects of this type of program to be considered before it gets off the ground.
