Questions to all candidates.
1# Over 70s get a free parking concession disabled mobility card users used to receive this same parking concession, but this was removed some years ago. The disabled community was not consulted before the law was changed.
Why were we not consulted?
I will be lobbying for the return of the same parking concession as over 70s get for mobility card holders would you support this?
Costing quoted at the time of the law change indicated $200,000 per year income from issuing fines and parking charges for disabled people.
If yes excellent if no please explain why not?
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you. Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus?
