In 2016, rules for transport services were changed in NSW, and because of the reforms, many taxi license owners lost almost the entire value of their licenses.

This week in parliament I signed the NSW taxi driver pledge, pushing for fair compensation for taxi license holders across the state.

In November last year, I made a private member’s statement expressing concern about these and other challenges currently facing the industry.

Hansard records of that statement can be read here.
