I refer to the social media video posted by Senator Glenn Sterle on 11 December 2023 featuring Premier Roger Cook behind the wheel of a 'triple road train' driving across the new Fitzroy River bridge, and I ask: (a) At the time the video was taken on 10 December 2023, did the Premier hold a Heavy Rigid or Heavy Combination licence; and (b) At the time the video was taken on 10 December 2023, did the Premier hold a Multi Combination (MC) licence?

(a – b) I reject the premise of the question, which is misleading and incorrect.
The truck was driven across the Fitzroy River Bridge by Senator Sterle. At no point did the Premier drive a truck across the Fitzroy River Bridge, as the Member has incorrectly stated.
