Re: [Vic] Reduction in Tertiary concession card cost

[Vaughan Williams <ender2000@my-deja.com>]

Oh well, its better than what we feared which was that it would end up
a non core promise. They were (probably deliberately) vague in the
transport policy on how much it was to be reduced by, though I
understand the youth affairs policy released by Lynne Kosky before the
election said they'd come down to the level of a primary/secondary card.

A charge of $10 - $20 is probably reasonable but $75 is still too high
(better than $125 which is what it would have been with the GST and the
CPI increases).

Hopefully it will be reduced again next year - start your campaigning
now, folks.
