Taxi Industry

Queensland’s personalised transport services sector has declined at such a rate that low taxi availability – especially in relation to wheelchair accessible vehicles – has left some Queenslanders feeling like prisoners in their homes.

The NSW Government has announced it will provide an extra $500 million to help the State’s devastated taxi industry adapt to deregulation, spurring Katter’s Australian Party (KAP) Leader Robbie Katter to call on Queensland to follow suit.
