Uber is threatening the jobs of Australian taxi drivers by undermining the
regulated taxi industry. We need your support to ban Uber in Australia and
protect the jobs and futures of local drivers!
Help us send a strong message to the Australian government: Uber must be
stopped before more damage is done to our communities and
our hardworking drivers. By signing the petition, you’re standing up for:
Fair competition in the transport industry.
A level playing field for taxi drivers.
Local jobs and secure livelihoods for Australians.
Safe, regulated transportation for all passengers.
Uber’s undercutting fares have forced taxi drivers to work longer hours for less pay. Many have seen their incomes drop significantly, making it harder to support their families.
Traditional taxi drivers invest heavily in licenses and meet strict regulatory standards, while Uber drivers bypass many of these rules. This creates an uneven playing field that disadvantages our local drivers.

Uber drivers are considered independent contractors, meaning they miss out on the basic rights and protections that traditional taxi drivers receive. Uber avoids providing benefits such as job security, healthcare, or pensions, leaving both Uber and taxi drivers vulnerable.

The surge in Uber vehicles has led to more traffic in Australian cities, making it harder for all drivers, including taxis, to operate efficiently. This increase in congestion affects everyone – drivers and passengers alike.
As Uber grows, local taxi companies and drivers are being pushed out of business. We are witnessing the destruction of an industry that provides stable jobs and long-term career opportunities for thousands of Australians.
Uber drivers are not held to the same rigorous safety and background checks as taxi drivers, putting passenger safety at risk. Traditional taxis follow strict regulations to ensure public trust – Uber does not.
