Transport Affordability Amendment Bill 2026
This bill introduces two transport affordability measures for Queenslanders. It creates a fuel price cap system that limits daily petrol price increases to 5 cents per litre and requires retailers to lock in next-day prices by 2pm. It also protects 50-cent public transport fares by requiring any future increase to be approved by a vote in Parliament.
