Make public transport free in South Australia during the oil crisis


Make public transport free in South Australia during the oil crisis
The Issue
To the Government of South Australia,
South Australians are facing a growing cost-of-living crisis, driven in large part by rising fuel prices linked to ongoing global oil instability. For many households, the cost of simply getting to work, attending university, or managing daily responsibilities has become increasingly difficult to sustain.
We are calling on the South Australian Government to introduce temporary free public transport across the state for the duration of the oil crisis.
This is not a long-term structural change—it is a targeted, time-limited response to an extraordinary economic pressure facing the community right now.
We recognise that governments must balance budgets and priorities carefully. However, moments like this call for clear, people-focused decisions that provide immediate and visible relief.
As Parliament returns to sitting, we will be closely watching how elected representatives respond to this proposal. This is an opportunity for all parties—Government and Opposition alike—to demonstrate their commitment to easing cost-of-living pressures and supporting everyday South Australians.
We respectfully urge the South Australian Government to implement temporary free public transport until fuel prices stabilise and cost-of-living pressures ease.
Sign and share this petition to support real, immediate relief for South Australians.
