Taxi audit hailed down

www.abc.net.au

The Sydney Morning Herald has been on the job for several weeks about the NSW taxi industry, and today reports on a 2007 audit released yesterday, after unsuccessful attempts to obtain it under the Freedom of Information Act, and the commencement of an Ombudsman investigation, at the Herald's behest, into the handling of the matter. The audit reveals breaches of conditions of a special license category, resulting in substantial profits for some key industry players and was made public by the Minister for Transport as part of an announcement of major reforms to taxi licensing. No sign so far of the report online on the Minister's Media Release website. Update- thanks for the comment- the Report is here.
