Submissions from drivers to the Victorian inquiry stated driver income can be as low as $5 per hour. How do you suggest those poor mugs survive on $60 per 12 hour day, less GST, less whatever ?? That $5 might be exceptionally bad, but there would be precious few drivers getting $10 per hour, out of which they must pay GST, possibly a contribution to fuel & insurance, their own income tax, holiday pay, sick leave etc etc. Could **YOU ** struggle by on $120 gross for a 12 hour day ?? I notice you've refrained from commenting when I've mentioned that issue several times previously so one can only assume you concur with the numbers. Things might not look real flash for your finances now, but do you ever think about the poor mugs driving your cabs ??
