Public Transport is a basic service any Government must deliver for the benefit of its citizens.

Paul Broad has previously advocated for the privatisation of the New South Wales rail network, saying on 30 June 2011, "I do think there's opportunity for that." He is now the Premier's special adviser. Does the Premier agree with his view that our State's rail network should be privatised?

From all my conversations with taxi plate owners and taxi drivers, it is crystal clear that they are heartbroken and angry after having been let down time and again by this Liberal-Nationals Government.

Does the Premier agree with his fellow Liberal MP the Hon. Chris Rath who last night said, regarding the New South Wales manufacturing industry, "It's not easy for us to manufacture mass transportation options, such as ferries, at a reasonable cost", and, regarding manufacturing mass transportation, "We do not hold the comparative advantage."?

Labor supports the Electric Vehicles (Revenue Arrangements) Bill 2021 and welcomes the sensible amendments agreed to by the Legislative Council. It showed where the vast majority of sensible voices in this place and the community are on the uptake of electric vehicles. The technology is moving very quickly and we want New South Wales to be a part of that. 

Transport for NSW must urgently fix the awning and to improve accessibility for everyone at Lewisham Train Station.
