"The way road trauma was classified contributed to that visibility problem."
"A traffic controller killed at a roadworks site does not appear in a public 'road worker' category."
"...While Queensland published weekly road toll figures, there was no one publicly accessible source that integrated public road fatalities, work-related road deaths, serious injury hospitalisations in one place or in near-real time. Road workers are especially vulnerable because they are exposed on high-speed corridors where a single reckless decision can have catastrophic consequences."
"Tragically, one afternoon Suzanne was struck by a truck travelling 106km/h in a 60km/h zone. The truck drove on the footpath and killed her." >>

Yes, totally agree. A rolling five year average makes more sense to report, smoothing out those statistical one-offs (flukes) & better enabling sight or understanding of real change over time. Still an impressive achievement as it’s often said (in public health circles) that it can’t be done).
