Metro Trains and Yarra Trams pocket public money whether they run on time or not. Franchise contracts guarantee availability payments regardless of performance, and penalties are too weak to shift behaviour. The next Metro Trains contract renews before November 2027 – once signed, the figures stay hidden for another decade. Fusion's fix: a windfall levy on franchise profits when service standards fail. Miss the standard, give it back. A Fusion MP would compel profit disclosure and make a third extension politically costly. The public funds the network, the public should know what operators pocket. Join us to force that showdown before the contract locks in. #auspol #vicpol https://go.fusionparty.org.au/Q6oQZ
