2283 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction: What reports or advice, if any, has she received on the child poverty impacts of free public transport for children and half price public transport for young people?
Hon Louise Upston: I have received advice that policy proposals to end half-price public transport for under 25s cannot be modelled, but the best prediction is that it will likely have a minimal impact on material hardship.
