The NSW Taxi Council is urging the state government to buy back taxi licences and lease them to the industry “at an appropriate rate for the market that we have” as cabs struggle to compete with ride-share services.
Taxi Council CEO Martin Rogers said his council is having “constructive conversations” with the NSW government about how to fix the problem of taxi drivers having to pay extra costs compared to ride-share drivers and he believes “it can be fixed”. “Let’s look at those costs that operators have to level the playing field and let’s make sure that drivers who want to operate can, and can make a decent living,” he said.

nswtaxi The Taxi Industry is own worst enemy. People were sick of getting into smelly unsafe vehicles with non speaking English drivers & the theft & assaults that were also instigated by the Drivers! The Taxi Industry allowed this to happen to itself. UBER was the savior of Pub-trans!

'NSW Liberal overwhelmingly unites behind Berejiklian’ | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Attorney General Mark Speakman says NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has “the overwhelming support of party members because she led us to victory and is a premier that is working extremely hard”. \n\nThe premier spent Monday night locked in crisis talks after Tanya Davies, Matthew Mason-Cox and Lou Amato pledged to “hold her to account” over the controversial abortion bill. \n\nThe contentious abortion bill, which was put forward by Independent MP Alex Greenwich, passed the lower house 59 to 31 in a conscience vote with the support of Labor and the Nationals.\n\nMr Speakman told Sky News on Tuesday 'it’s up to the upper house, individual MPs to decide how to vote on this bill, it is not a government bill, it is beyond the power of the premier to direct MPs how to vote, if that is what these three MPs want then they are misguided'. \n\n“The vast majority of Liberal MPs realise the electors don’t want a circus and don’t want to see a repetition of what happened in Canberra,' he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia She is doing a good job. Awesome at the use of subterfuge. Bringing a surprise bill through on a topic that was never mentioned in the past election.

MPs withdraw spill motion against NSW Premier Gladys BerejiklianBreaking: A threatened leadership spill against NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian over her handling of a private member's bill to decriminalise abortion has been called off. Waddasurprise So did GladysB sell her soul & cave in on concessions or did spillers realise there's no public support for their chiistian jihadist demands. The Premier has to learn the lesson. Pushing too hard and cutting corners is an act of incompetence rather than wisdom. The Premier has been embarrassed several times in Public Work projects that had no proper planning and in legislation rushed without consultation.
