State opposition defends public transport policy on back of Jacinta Allan swipe

The state government has mocked the opposition’s election pledge for a $2 daily cap on public transport fares, saying they’ve ignored country customers.

Jacinta Allan has called on the Coalition to explain why the policy doesn’t include V-Line, claiming country passengers have been “shunted into second class” by the pledge.

But Danny O’Brien told Neil Mitchell it was a bit rich for her to criticise the policy.

“What’s her policy? What’s the government actually going to do?” he said.
