The Greens say free public transport for a month should just be the start of the cost of living relief measures Victorians need right now.
It comes after the government today adopted the Greens’ policy for free public transport for a month in response to the fuel crisis.
The Greens welcome the announcement saying there is plenty more the government can be doing to help Victorians with the cost of living right now.
Quotes attributable to Leader of the Victorian Greens, Ellen Sandell.
“This is proof that governments can make decisions that bring down the cost of living and help people get everything they need to live a good life. The Greens have plenty more ideas, if the government wants to copy our homework, they are more than welcome to.”
“Victorians are hurting right now, free public transport is a great first step, but there are so many more things the government could be doing to support Victorians with the cost of living right now like making price gouging illegal, free healthcare and childcare and ending unlimited rent increases.”
