Premier Decides School Student Travel to Remain Free
Source: NSW Premier. Media Release.
"NSW Premier, Nathan Rees has announced that he will restore the free school travel pass scheme. Plans for a small co-payment announced in the mini-budget have been scrapped. "I’ve attended many school speech days in the past few weeks and parents have told me that household budgets are stretched and this payment will add to that pressure. "I’ve heard those concerns and I agree that it’s wrong to put extra pressure on households budgets, particularly when families will be getting ready to send their children back to school."
