"LONE DRIVERS SHOULD PAY

WELL-PAID bureaucrats and academics go to Canberra for a talkfest on taxes. Included is a congestion tax that will hurt low-income families, pushing prices up and damaging small businesses. In Australian cities, single-occupant cars make up 70% of traffic. Reduce the number of single-occupant cars to reduce congestion and pollution. Aim congestion taxes at single-occupant cars in cities. Exempt commercial vehicles, taxis, motorcycles & scooters. Use the tax on cars to provide protective clothing lockers for riders and to improve public transport.
