Drivers nabbed way over limit in Victoria-wide King's Birthday road blitz
Nearly a third of drivers booked during a major policing operation in Melbourne this weekend have allegedly blown more than double the limit. Police conducted 3,007 preliminary breath tests on an outbound section of CityLink in Moonee Ponds, with 32 drivers nabbed exceeding the legal alcohol limit. Of those, 10 were found to have a reading of more than .10, while one driver returning a reading of .158 — more than three times the limit. During the operation, officers also carried out drug tests on 86 drivers, detecting three who were allegedly impaired. Senior Sergeant Frank Cuce, of Fawkner Highway Patrol which led the operation, described the number of impaired drivers detected as "incredibly disappointing". "Not only are these drivers breaking the law, they're also making a choice that puts everyone else on the road around them in danger." The tests were part of a blitz across the state over the King's Birthday long weekend to reduce road trauma. The driver of a Mercedes sedan was spotted allegedly travelling at 131 kilometres per hour in a 100 zone on the Princes Highway about 9:20am on Saturday. Police said the 31-year-old Point Cook man, who had a zero-alcohol condition on his licence, returned an alleged reading of .122. His car was impounded for 30 days, costing him $1305, while his licence was immediately suspended. He was expected to be charged with numerous driving offences. Across the weekend, police detected more than 1,850 motorists for offences included driving while disqualified, speeding, mobile phone use, driving an unregistered vehicle or driving without a licence. Senior Sergeant Cuce warned motorists that police would also be highly visible on Victorian roads for the remainder of the long weekend, "anywhere, anytime".

CityLink, BusLink Fares To Increase From August
Prices will increase across Northland's public transport network from Friday 01 August with authorities saying they have been left with little choice in the matter. Northland Regional Council member Joe Carr, who chairs the Northland Regional Transport Committee, says fares on Whangārei's CityLink service will revert to their 2018 level of $3 for adults and $2 for children, an increase of $1 per journey on the present fares. Fares on the rural BusLink services will rise by 50 cents per journey from Friday 01 August. Infants up to four years of age will continue to travel free of charge. Concessions for Community Service Card and Gold Card holders remain in place for CityLink and BusLink routes. From 01 August these concessions will also apply for the first time to BusLink's Bream Bay Link and Hikurangi Link, which had not previously been able to offer these discounts. "Council recognises that cost of living pressures are impacting on Northlanders and has for many years made every effort to keep bus fares as low as possible," Chair Carr says. However, he says the council - which administers the services - had been left with very little option, but to review fares. "Regional councils nationwide are having to find additional forms of funding to cover bus operational, infrastructure and administration costs in keeping with the Government Policy on Land Transport 2024.". During Covid and to assist with the cost-of-living crisis, the government had funded several fare reduction schemes across the country, but this funding had ceased in 2023. Chair Carr says even with the increased fares, Northland's charges are still largely in line with other parts of New Zealand. He says over the past two years CityLink has also made several improvements to the service, including the introduction of the SchoolLink service and extension to Route 3, an online bus tracking system, and the Rose Street bus hub redevelopment currently underway with Whangarei District Council. The council will run an awareness campaign shortly to inform passengers of the intended increases.
