Katter Party guns for Uber

From Fairfax:

Rob Katter and Shane Knuth will introduce a bill in the upcoming parliamentary sitting week which would see Uber drivers, who can already be fined under existing legislation, penalised through demerit points.

The Katter Party MPs have proposed three demerit points for a first offence and six demerit points for any following offence.

Mr Katter said he believed it was the only way to “uphold Queensland’s law and transport regulation system for those who have done the right thing”.

Some good ‘ol Country Party policy at work there. Go Straya!
