Croydon electorate
David HODGETT (Croydon) (14:46): (1164) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and it relates to the recently announced free public transport on a youth Myki card from 1 January 2026 for 18-year-olds as part of this year’s Victorian state budget. This announcement makes a point of saying that the government supports the easing of cost-of-living pressures on families by offering free public transport for children under 18. However, there are many students who will be 18 at the commencement of the school year or be turning 18 throughout their final year of secondary education. Minister, will someone who is still a student and who is 18 or who turns 18 during their final year of school be able to continue to access free public transport on a youth Myki, or will they be forced to pay while they are still at school?
