Is anyone keeping an eye on the NSW road fatality data?

For the 12 month period to the end of March 2016 (i.e. 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016) 70 more people died using NSW roads compared to the previous 12 months (i.e. 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015).

SEVENTY MORE PEOPLE DIED!


The number of people who have died is up 24% - to more than 360 people dead, in more than 340 separate incidents, over the last 12 months.

Compare this with acts of terrorism throughout Australia in the same period:
Sep 2014 - Melbourne - 1 killed, 2 injured
Dec 2014 - Sydney - 3 killed, 4 injured
Oct 2015 - Parramatta - 2 killed
(and in each of these three cases, one of those killed was the terrorist).

The government has the national terrorism threat level as 'probable'.

If the national terrorism threat level is probable, with one attack in Australia in the last 12 months; 

what should the threat level be for using NSW roads?
