🔴 URGENT — ACTIVE CRISIS

The Fuel Crisis

Petrol above $2.00/L while fares remain capped at 2023 levels. Drivers cannot recover fuel costs and face $3,000 fines for overcharging. TDA demands immediate 15% fare uplift and permanent fuel indexation.

🔴 CRITICAL — INCOME GAP

Wages Below Minimum

73% of Sydney drivers net below $24.10/hr minimum wage. Contractor classification means most are locked out of Fair Work protections entirely.
