The father of a four-year-old boy who was killed in a truck crash in Canberra's south has welcomed the ACT government's agreement with the coronial inquest recommendations that followed his son's death, saying he was hopeful the issues would be addressed meaningfully.
But Andrew Corney said there needed to be a review of sentences that could be imposed on drivers who kill people on the roads, taking into account whether the laws are acting as deterrents, meeting victims' needs and whether they are keeping the ACT safe overall.
