Government forced to make decision on Uber

Earlier, Neil Mitchell took issue with the sketchy details of Senator Patten’s proposal.

‘You’re putting up a bill to regulate ride-sharing, but you’re not saying how to regulate it,’ Neil said.

Neil pressed Ms Patten on several key questions that probably should already have answers.

Neil: I’m confused. You’re about to introduce the bill, have you got the licence fee in it or not?

Ms Patten: No.

Neil: You haven’t?
