Surprise, surprise.

The grubberment has been robbing taxis for years.
Ridiculous amounts of money to drive a legally registered car on the roads.

And now, they refuse to protect the industry that is paying thousands to them.

The grubberment is a slimy, conniving, lying, collection of criminal thieves.

MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.

Quote:

Standard taxi licenses in Brisbane were selling for an average of more than half a million dollars in 2014 but that price had dropped to $103,828 in 2018.

In 2019, the average sale price for a standard license in the city was about $75,000.

Poor Aussie must have lost his arse out of this.
No wonder he drinks.

Re: Court rules against Queensland taxis Reply #5 - May 2^nd, 2020 at 9:44am The real question is not why the government is letting uber take over, but why they let the situation with taxi licences get so distorted in the first place. It's like they hated taxi drivers.

A third ground remains in place. Obviously there is advice that we should appeal this decision. I'll be waiting for the dust to settle first.

Just taking our rightful place as part of the Third World, in which anyone with a car can tout for fares without checks and balances.
