Dennis Julian >Jack Dempsey Introduce same legislation as in WA and below is WA Legislation Abusive or threatening behaviour directed at Taxi Drivers will not be tolerated by the State Government or the Taxi Industry. We all rely on taxi drivers to get us home safely at night and it is only fair a taxi drivers working environment is safe. Under the Criminal Code, taxi drivers are viewed and treated as public officers. Penalties for attacking a taxi driver can receive up to a seven year jail sentence. Following consultation with representatives within the industry and in an effort to reduce this unacceptable behaviour, the Department has launched a Respect your Cabbie public awareness campaign. The main purpose of this campaign is to educate the community that assaulting a taxi driver or public servant is wrong. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Jack Dempsey > Hi Dennis, thank you for your feedback and I would urge you to pass on to both the Minister for Transport, Scott Emerson and Attorney General Jarrod Bleijie, who would oversee such a change. - Team JD
