Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Overall, if it is intended to rectify what the Minister has himself called a "jungle-type operation" in the taxi industry, then proper power and resources must be provided to the commission. The Minister must take on board the genuine concerns of groups such as FAIR, and most of all the public, who have had their confidence shaken by bad experience and reports in the media. Although long overdue and in need of amendment in some fundamental aspects, I welcome the Bill.
