They finally agreed to free transport for TAFE students. Thank you to the 287 people who helped push this over the line. Now we wait to see it implemented on the ground.
Australia is a country that is more than not in need of those qualified for the Trade industry. At present in not just the Electorate of Lismore but around NSW, students attending Tafe where the majority of these skills are learnt are required to pay for their travel to and from Tafe. While i recognise that in some cases students are partially subsidised i believe that like their full time school colleagues a free concession card that covers all transport cost should be provided.Thats why as part of the NSW YMCA Youth Parliament program i call on the NSW Government to take action and eliminate this injustice.
The stories shared by students struggling to afford transport costs are fueling our next steps with the government. We need this change to support our future trade workers.

Fix this now. TAFE students deserve the same support as high schoolers.

Living in Lismore and taking the bus to class is so expensive. We are training for trade jobs that help the whole country so why are we paying for travel?
