Well done Victoria & Tasmania. Big yay also to Queensland which after trialing 50c fares in 2024 decided to make them permanent.

This is what governance looks like.

Contrast Albanese following the #Scott🤡 strategy of ‘we’ll use taxpayer money to underwrite any losses experienced by corporate profiteers’.

Shame on you.

Who do our elected representatives exist to serve? #FollowTheMoney

@26pglt TBF the 50c fares in Queensland were a vote buying strategy at the last election, not governance.

But to answer your question "Who do our elected representatives exist to serve?"
Starts with a B and rhymes with "Who wants to be a millionaire?"

Edit to add "at the last election"
