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
FAIR AND REASONABLE WAGE INCREASE FOR BUS DRIVERS

(1) Will the Government ensure that bus drivers will receive a fair and reasonable wage increase on an industry basis each year, at least in line with inflation or the minimum wage rise (whichever is higher)?

 

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.
