Speaker
Bernie introduced Andrew
RBT’s (Random breath tests) were introduced in 1982 after Malcolm Fraser agreed.
$100m cost of road accidents.
Victoria first in 1976, Qld last state in 1988. In Victoria there was a 48% reduction in fatal accidents initially, and 15% overall.
Queensland changed from .08% to .05% in 1982 which had a big impact.
The Breathaliser is a quick process, with getting the GPS fix taking the longest time - takes about 30sec per test. The tubes cost 8c each
A recent test at Tewantin for drivers coming off the barge caught four drivers in three hours. A third were drug tested with four caught.

RDT (Random Drug Testing) was introduced in Victoria in 2004 (first) Qld in 2007, and ACT in 2011 (last)
This is more expensive. The unit is used and discarded, the tongue is scraped, the sample tested, and if positive an evidentiary sample is taken from the wall of the cheek, it’s bagged and sealed, and sent to the lab in Brisbane where a certificate is issued in 2-3 weeks followed by a notice to appear. All up it costs about $250. The typical fine is a couple of hundred dollars.
RDT’s test for THC, MDMA and Meth. They are “targeted” with a Mini Q Lite (looks like an iPad) being used to check number plates, police records etc, and “how they appear” also taken into account (watch out Rotarians) Detection is typically in the 1 in 30-70 range)

In the seven months to 2015, the Brisbane Section did 1029 RBTs with 90 positive therefore the strike rate was 11.4%.
Rudy noted it must actually be less than 10%
- Doesn’t he know 97.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot?
In the same time there were 362 positive drug tests with an approx 33.3% strike rate.
With alcohol, .08% is typically reached with three standard drinks in one hour, then one per hour. For females it is one less (tough luck after the first hour)

Hey Ron, remember that library book you borrowed back in 1976?
Well it was never returned

OUR ROTARY SUCCESS WITH THE POLIO PLUS CAMPAIGN Because of Rotarian support, more than four million children who might have been polio victims are walking and playing normally. Since 1985, through Rotary’s efforts, and those of its partners around the world, more than two billion children have received polio vaccines and have been protected. There are currently three countries that are endemic: Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. We must not stop our efforts until we give the children a Polio Free world!
THANK YOU FOR HAVING SUPPORTED THE ROTARY FOUNDATION AND ITS EFFORT IN ERADICATING POLIO FROM OUR PLANET.
