Stan White

Mr BARTON (Eastern Metropolitan) (10:24): This past year has been a difficult year. We have lost another icon from the taxi industry, our dear friend Stan White, who passed last Sunday. Stan has always been a passionate advocate for the taxi industry, along with his wife, Isobel. They started Taxi Talk magazine 70 years ago. Today their legacy is carried on by their daughter Toni Peters. I would like to extend my condolences to his daughters, Toni and Donna; his grandchildren; and the wider family. Stan will be dearly missed. Stan and his late wife, Isobel, always fought for a fair industry. They believed in hard work and a living wage. I feel a responsibility to them and all the taxi families to continue their fight. Rest in peace, my friend, Stan White.
