Love this bit:

The Department of Transport and Main Roads will now make the LNP’s 50 cent fares permanent on all Translink public transport networks in Queensland.

I'm sorry, who's 50 cent fares?

Don't you just love being able to rewrite history in official government releases.

Turns out both parties really are the same!

After articles in the media last week came out critical of the 50 c fares, I figured they were laying the groundwork for undoing the Labor Government's surprising but laudable last-minute election hail mary. But it looks like they're sticking with it. Which is a rare win from this already-terrible government.
