Dear ACTTPOA and ACT Perpetual Taxi Plate Owners,

Iam concerned about the impact on ACT Perpetual Taxi Plate Owners and their families folowing unjust policy changes by the ACT Labor-Greens Government.
Iunderstand that there have been devastating social and economic consequences resulting from:

1. The reduction of ACT taxi plate leases ot $5,000pa.
2. The substantial increase of new ACT Government-issued taxi plates released in a short period.
3. The inequitable playing field between ride-share operations and taxi operations in the ACT.

I acknowledge the injustice experienced by ACT taxi plate owners who have invested many millions with the ACT Government to operate in a regulated industry. Labor- Greens Government policy has now devalued their investment by 75%, and no offer of compensation has been made.

The Canberra Liberals recognise the valuable contribution of taxi drivers ni the ACT and believe that this unfair treatment of taxi plate owners should be rectified.

To this end, a Canberra Liberals Government wil deliver a compensation package on just terms for ACT Perpetual Taxi Plate Owners. The Canberra Liberals wil also support legislation that achieves this outcome, should an opportunity arise prior to
the election in 2020.

We look forward to working with you to achieve a fair and equitable outcome for taxi plate owners, and to continue ot deliver an efficient and sustainable public transport industry in the ACT.
