It would be nice if the federal government could find a way of financing it properly so it wouldn’t have to go up quite that much, but that was never going to happen. Failing that, I’d have liked to have seen the following:
* a slightly *larger* increase in the price of a standard ticket; and
* a reduced price ticket for those on low incomes, especially those reliant on welfare benefits — perhaps even a free version for the most vulnerable of all.
