On this page, you will find useful
motoring related policy information in the lead up to the 2007 Federal Election,
including:
Motoring Matters ... For Every Australian
In the lead up to and during the
election, AAA will be promoting its election dossier –
Motoring Matters – and seeking
to enlist broad support from the electorate and political parties.
AAA and its member motoring clubs are seeking the following
commitments from political parties contesting the next Federal election:
-
That the Federal Government increase road investment in
AusLink 2 (2009/10 to 2013/14) to at least $25 billion. This is equivalent to
12cpl raised from the 38cpl fuel excise;
-
Strong project management that delivers projects on time and
on budget;
-
Increased funding for the Commonwealth’s Black Spots program
to $100 million a year, through to the end of AusLink 2 in 2014;
-
Introduction of family oriented programs to help learner
drivers receive adequate real world driving experience;
-
Ensure that every new car sold in Australia has at least the
same level of safety as equivalent models overseas;
-
Government to partner with motoring clubs on specific programs
to address climate change, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars;
and
-
Reform of fuel taxation which will result in fuel being
cheaper for motorists and their families.

AAA wants, you can download a series of supporting fact sheets from the right
