00:00 The man who was convicted of causing death by careless driving when he killed my young
00:07 constituent Greg was only sentenced to nine months in prison. However, because he was
00:12 charged with causing death by careless driving and not dangerous driving, Greg's family
00:17 had no right to appeal under the Attorney-General's unduly lenient sentencing scheme. Will the
00:24 Minister agree to discuss this with the Attorney-General and look into revising the unduly lenient
00:31 sentence scheme to include causing death by careless driving?
00:35 I thank the Honourable Lady for her question. I was very sorry to hear the details of that
00:41 particular case and I would of course be very happy to raise it with the Attorney-General.
