Petition
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Ms Porter, from 169 residents:
Taxis—insurance—petition No 130
TO THE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:
• ACT Taxi Drivers and Operators hold the view that CTP Insurance costs are placing pressure on the cost of taxi fares;
• That this pressure is evidenced by a comparison of CTP costs to taxi Operators between NSW and the ACT; and
• That the taxi industry has over the past three years sought advice on how to have this comparative cost disadvantage addressed and this advice supports the proposed legislative amendments.
Your petitioners, all being ACT Taxi Drivers, Operators or Customers therefore request the Assembly to give due attention to the following request:
“We the members and supporters of the taxi industry wish to express our support for the proposed changes to legislation limiting compensation payable on Compulsory Third Party Insurance. We the undersigned request the ACT House of Assembly to pass the legislative amendments in order to reduce the rate of increase in CTPI costs in the future and thus lower insurance costs for the taxi industry and thereby reduce upward cost pressures on taxi fares”.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister for response pursuant to standing order 100, the petition was received.
