   I support Fair Fares because: we are all students who cannot get external jobs for income, therefore, we should be granted the benefits of other students.

   Name: Nancy Wang on Feb 24, 2009

   I support Fair Fares because: Postgraduate students often need to travel for study/research related purposes. Our PhD scholarship is rapidly decreasing in real value and living expenses, traveling in particular, is becoming greater and greater burden. We as postgraduates contribute significantly to research and academic output of the university, and are under no less financial pressure than undergraduate students, if not more. It is only fair that we should be entitled to the same support and appreciation in the form of travel concession.

   I support Fair Fares because: Postgraduate students are in a worse financial position that undergraduate students with little opportunity to work part time and therefore should be entitled to public transport concessions.

    I support Fair Fares because: International students and post-graduate should not be treated as second-class when it comes to travel concession. They are under the same financial pressures as the rest of us undertaking tertiary studies. The other states have the seen sense in this, it is time Victoria did too.

    I support Fair Fares because: I have been an international student (overseas) and I am currently a postgrad and I know how the price of full fare tickets hurts! Additionally I am also an advocate of low priced high quality public transport for environmental reasons - and many Melbourne students feel the same!

    I support Fair Fares because: Not only should all students have equal rights, but concession travel fairs would help supportresearch higher degree students with the cost of living, and therefore support research generated by Victorian universities and industry.

    Name: Jennifer Koplin on Feb 24, 2009

    I support Fair Fares because: As a full-time graduate student I have little free time to earn extra money and scholarship money only barely covers rent and bills. I believe graduate students should be entitle to travel concessions. In addition, use of public transport should be promoted and we should do all we can to ensure fares are affordable for everyone.

    I support Fair Fares because: !. The expense for public transport is disproportionately high for an international student studying and living in Melbourne, encroaches on their means of other necessary expenses on basic food and textbooks, etc. 2. Concessions to students will be rewarded by their contributions to society in other forms such as volunteer and community services.

Even though I am working for free for the Institute, I still have to pay full price for transport to and from my internship, while non-international students do get concessions for the same thing.

    I support Fair Fares because: Students should be supported during their period of study and the necessary low income that goes with it. If higher education is such an integral part of furthering this country, then the government should be aiding students at every turn, and helping them simply get to classes for a cheaper rate!

    Name: Davis McCarthy on Feb 24, 2009

    I support Fair Fares because: International and postgraduate student do not receive much financial support and transport costs put a large dent in the budget of students. It is not fair that students who make such a valuable contribution to society are denied concession fares. Victoria should recognise the good that these students do and support them through the minimal step of allowing them to travel on concession tickets.
