NSW Police Minister’s Driver Charged With High-Range Drink-Driving

Police say the 55-year-old recorded a 0.183 blood-alcohol reading, with a Bega court appearance set for December 24.

Overview

  • Police stopped a Toyota Prado near Bemboka at about 3pm Tuesday after reports of erratic driving and arrested the driver following a positive roadside test.
  • A subsequent test at Bega police station returned a 0.183 reading, which led to a high‑range drink‑driving charge and an immediate licence suspension.
  • The driver was identified by 9News as Trevor Daley, 55, who is employed as the driver for NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley.
  • Catley was not in the vehicle and later said the circumstances were very concerning, adding that no one is above the law.
  • Catley was scheduled to open the new $23 million Bega police station with Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon, and 9News reported the driver had been due to pick her up for the event.
