Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
This matter has been ongoing for three years. Senators will agree it is time for action. Members of the Joint Committee on Transport from all sides, including the Government parties, were unanimous that the level of compensation being offered was not adequate. I ask the Minister of State to address this aspect and increase the amount of compensation available. Families are in hardship as a result of the overnight deregulation, which, in hindsight, was badly thought through.
