Greens: 50 cent national public transport fares

Reported at thenightly.com.au: The Greens are advocating for the nationalization of 50 cent public transport fares as a strategy for the upcoming Federal election, particularly if a hung parliament emerges.

They assert that this policy, which is projected to cost approximately $30 billion over a decade, could provide cost-of-living relief similar to recent successful fare reductions in Queensland.

The Greens propose funding this initiative through their “Robin Hood” tax reforms, which include a super-profits tax on corporations and mines, potentially generating $514 billion over ten years.
