Melbourne Airport<br />
Congestion is still causing angst in<br />
peak periods at Qantas domestic<br />
car park since Melbourne Airport<br />
management decided to allow<br />
taxis to use this area.<br />
There have been an extra 24 parking<br />
spots made available for Hire Cars<br />
on level one, north end of the car<br />
park. However, the congestion has<br />
led to disputes between drivers.<br />
This mess is not a good look<br />
for Melbourne Airport, primarily<br />
because of the safety concerns for<br />
customers and drivers having to<br />
negotiate this car park congestion<br />
to get to their vehicles.<br />
The CPVAA will continue to work<br />
with Melbourne Airport for a<br />
better outcome for customers<br />
and drivers, and we will keep you<br />
informed as soon we have updates.<br />

Class Action v UBER<br />
The Class Action has continued to<br />
grow and this serves to strengthen<br />
our proposed case against<br />
Uber. Maurice Blackburn is now<br />
investigating the possibility of taking<br />
this proposed action nationally.<br />
We are now in a stronger position<br />
and we are feeling somewhat<br />
bullish.<br />
We are not quite over the line as yet<br />
and this will take some time. We<br />
have the best litigation company<br />
in Australia, Maurice Blackburn,<br />
working on this with a team of<br />
very skilled lawyers working on our<br />
behalf.<br />
It’s not too late to register<br />
If you haven’t already registered for<br />
the potential class action against<br />
Uber, it is certainly not too late to<br />
do so.<br />
