Farraway, Sam to the Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Special Minister of State, Minister for Roads, Minister for the Arts, and Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy representing the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads
RACE TO THE TOP FOR BUS DRIVERS

(1) Will the Government ensure that there is a ‘race to the top’ with wages and conditions for all private sector bus drivers transitioning to the top of the industry under the principle of ‘same job, same pay’?

 

Answer -

I am advised

The former Liberal-National government had 12-years to improve the wages and conditions of bus drivers but chose to privatise all remaining bus regions.

The current NSW Government has established a Bus Industry Taskforce, the details of which are publicly available.
