His radical views are unlikely to be welcomed by the taxi establishment, particularly owners of licences worth about $520,000 each.

The industry is struggling to attract drivers, who get less than half the fare, and earn as little as $7 an hour.

I'm not saying total deregulation. It's really important that anyone who drives a taxi has driver competence, good street knowledge, and is especially of good character.


So does 'especially of good character' mean the same as 'fit & proper' and is it as clear as mud like 'fit & proper' is?

They can't afford to pay drivers a living wage as they have the $500,000 plate premium debt to service.
