Daniel Andrews and Fiona Patten put brakes on UBER

Shadow Minister for Public Transport, David Hodgett

For 18 months, Matthew Guy and the Liberal Nationals have led the campaign to legalise Uber in Victoria.

Every other Australian state and territory has advanced their work on this issue except Victoria because Daniel Andrews can’t get his act together.

Once again, Daniel Andrews has chosen to defer making a decision on ride-sharing showing he’ll continue to sit on his hands while consumers, drivers, and the taxi industry are kept in limbo about their future.

Ride-sharing has been debated now for over 18 months and all Daniel Andrews wants to do is deny taxi owners, ride-sharing drivers and commuters certainty for the industry.

If there is no agreement by the resumption of Parliament in August, the Liberal Nationals will introduce our own Bill to legalise Uber.
