as long as the govt makes lots of dollars for no effort,
i wonder why the newer cars with antilock braking, automatic stability control, airbags and better crash crumple zones hasn't had an effect on anything 
Perhaps we should remove all this "redundant" technology
and get cheaper cars so we can afford the fines easier.

I heard the same interview, abc melbourne, a rather brain dead view that speed cameras are the sole cause of dropping the road toll, don't worry about air bags, crumple zones better engineeering.
Speed cameras = revenue raising, everyone knows it.
There are roads such as freeways where a higher limit is justified
