NSW budget delivers transport relief before election
The New South Wales government has announced a $500 million transport affordability package in its 2024 state budget, delivering $100 off car registration, reduced toll caps from $60 to $50, and frozen Opal fares for 12 months. Treasurer Daniel Mookhey's fourth and final budget before the state election also includes a $1,000 cost of living payment for 120,000 public sector workers and predicts a narrow return to surplus of $1.1 billion by 2027-28. The budget measures, largely lasting only 12 months, come nine months before the scheduled NSW state election.See omnystudio.com/listener for…
