In reply to Mr O’DONOHUE (Eastern Victoria) (19 March 2019)
Ms PULFORD (Western Victoria—Minister for Roads, Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Minister for Fishing and Boating):
The Andrews Labor Government is proud of the work we’ve done to put money back into the pockets of hardworking tradies.
The extension of the trade apprentice discount scheme provided support through a 50 per cent reduction in registration and transport accident charges for eligible apprentices.
Apprentices can be eligible if they are using their own vehicle for approved work purposes or if they are using their car to get to and from work between 8.30pm and 5.30am—a time when public transport may not be readily available.
