The NSW government is set to introduce new rules for ministerial drivers following the ongoing scandal surrounding Transport Minister Jo Haylen. Premier Chris Minns has vowed to take action, labelling the current situation as 'indefensible'. The move aims to increase transparency and accountability in the use of taxpayer-funded vehicles. With the government under pressure to act, the introduction of new rules is expected to bring about a more efficient and responsible use of resources. Key reforms are likely to include stricter guidelines and monitoring of driver usage, as part of the government's efforts to restore public trust. Ministerial drivers, government accountability, and transport reforms are expected to be key areas of focus.
