    Aust Day Double demerits !??!! Conflicting reports

    Two conflicting reports:

    NSW Police Media Release

    Media Release Archive
    ****Correction double demerit points will not apply **** Operation Safe Return
    Saturday, 22 Jan 2011 11:10am


    Police expect to breath test more than 100,000 motorists during Operation Safe Return, the state’s Australia Day road safety campaign.

    Operation Safe Return will commence at 00.01 hrs today Saturday (22 January 2011) and conclude at 23.59 hrs on Wednesday (26 January 2011).

    Sky News Article

    Police have kicked off operation Safe Return in NSW, targeting drink-driving and other road offences over the Australia Day holiday period.

    Double demerit points apply from Saturday to 11.59pm (AEDT) on Wednesday for all road infringements including speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt.

    So who do you beleive , AND before it begins.. yes I know.. DONT SPEED AND ALWAYS WEAR SEATBELTS!

    believe the police media release because it was updated some hours after the sky article.

      Thats my understanding too... and you would give the Police Media agency more credit than a news bureau!

            haha...

            well I live in QLD - what's a double demerit point? There would be a riot if they tried that up here.
