Why are deaths from drink driving not considered as murder in Australia? | 60 Minutes Australia

Apr 14 2023
We've tried everything. Random breath testing, tougher penalties and endless publicity campaigns. But the message just isn't getting through. And each year, more and more people are being killed by drink drivers. So maybe it's time we got really tough on the idiots causing the carnage. It's a radical step but in 2009, some experts believe drink drivers who kill should be charged with murder. It was already happening in America, thanks to one very tough prosecutor. Many grieving Australian families are asking why it was not happening here. For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes. #60MinutesAustralia
