FROM THE Editor The front cover of this month’s edition is dressed with a young lady entering a taxi, ready for Spring time. Perhaps she is going to work, visiting family, or catching up with friends for lunch. Maybe she is travelling to the airport to go on that long-awaited overseas trip. Or she could be one of those well-dressed ladies who attends the Melbourne Cup Carnival and is catching a taxi home after a hard day at the races. Whatever the reason for her being out and about, it is great to see that she is using a commercial passenger vehicle as her means of transportation. For those of us living on Australia’s eastern seaboard, we know all too well what it means to not be able to go out from our homes. We also know that if we continue to adhere to the government’s rules regarding vaccinations and lockdown, we may be able to enjoy the freedom to move around and meet up with our friends and loved ones. For some States this could be next month; others may have to wait until Christmas 2021. As more people in our communities are vaccinated against COVID-19, more will be able to leave their homes and it is then that the commercial passenger transport industry will start to see an increase in passengers. Then we will play the waiting game until our interstate borders and, eventually, the international borders are once again open. This is not going to happen overnight, but the experts are saying that all of Australia will be open early 2022. It will be at this point that the recovery of the Australian economy and our industry will begin. In the meantime, stay safe; wear a mask, keep rooms and vehicles well ventilated, avoid crowds, clean your hands, and adhere to physical distancing rules. Doing the right thing will see us survive these unprecedented times. Toni Peters 4 September 2021
