24.01.2022 Interesting read on the future of public transport in Melbourne. What do you think - would you catch a ferry to uni? #FaresFairPTV

23.01.2022 Grand final day is always a big weekend for Melbourne's public transport network, and it's great that the government is making it easier for people to get around the city. Now, how's about making it easier for postgrad students to get around ALL the time? #FaresFairPTV

22.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came down to Parliament House last week to support Fares Fair PTV. It was great to have members from the Liberal Party and the Greens join us to have a chat about the campaign, and listen to our concerns. Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved, and help us win this thing! #FaresFairPTV

21.01.2022 Melbourne has been voted world's most liveable city for the 7th year in a row! Clearly, our city is pretty awesome - the only thing we're missing is student travel concessions for postgrads! #FaresFairPTV

19.01.2022 Lucky Luxembourgers! Tragic alliterations aside, it's great to see governments around the globe start to recognise the struggle that is the #studentlife. Melbourne, you're up next! Ping Daniel Andrews

18.01.2022 Students at Monash University share why they need fair fares. Thanks Monash Postgraduate Association - MPA!

18.01.2022 In support of the Fares Fair PTV campaign, the MPA organised a huge campaign event in Oct 2018. The event ran over two days across the Monash Clayton and Caulfi...eld campuses. Over 350 Monash students and staff attended both events to show their support for Fares Fair PTV, a student-led campaign working to secure public transport concessions for Victorian postgraduates. The main agenda behind the MPAs efforts was to intensify the momentum of the campaign before the Victorian state elections in November 2018. As the representative body for over 25,000 PhD and Masters students enrolled at Monash University, the matter is of paramount importance to the MPA and we will continue to support this campaign until the government realises this is the right thing to do! Please help share this video with your friends!

18.01.2022 "Competition in the job market has pushed Australians into further education like never before, with a 46 per cent jump in the number of people with postgraduate degrees over the past five years and a 123 per cent increase since 2006." Its time for the government to recognise the changing educational landscape, and appropriately support postgraduate students. #FaresFairPTV

16.01.2022 Dont forget to come along tomorrow and learn how to lobby your local MP on behalf of FFPTV! There will be snacks ;)

16.01.2022 Deakin, La Trobe and Monash postgrads, what do you think of Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan's plan for a suburban rail link? We think better public transport out to our unis is great, but will you still be struggling to afford the fare? Monash Postgraduate Association - MPA, Deakin University Student Association, La Trobe University Student Union

16.01.2022 At the ALP State Conference this weekend the Transport Policy Committee Report recommended the following: "Labor should support equal treatment for undergraduate and postgraduate students and recognise that postgraduate students do not have the same earning capacity as full time wage earners. The State Government should move to introduce postgraduate concessions following the 2018 election."... Cmon, Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan - your party membership knows its time to make fares fair. #faresfairPTV

15.01.2022 "Its surprising that Victoria is the education state, because postgraduate students are still missing out". We agree! Hey Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan cmon already- its time to make fares fair for all full-time students. #faresfairPTV

15.01.2022 Check out the great article in Mojo - Monash Journalisms online magazine about our campaign! Support is growing to extend student concessions to full-time postgrads - its time for Jacinta Allan to get on board!

14.01.2022 Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan are dragging their heels on giving full-time postgrads student concessions, but meanwhile its full steam ahead to build trains that will squeeze even more people into carriages. What do you think of these Tokyo-style trains? Is standing room only the way of the future? If youre paying full fare, should you at least get the hope of a seat?

11.01.2022 Transport Minister Jacinta Allan has announced regional school students will have access to cheaper public transport fares from 2019. She added, "we will always look at how we can support more people using public transport in Victoria." Hey Minister, weve got some ideas!

10.01.2022 Were loving this article in Mojo News about Monash Postgraduate Association - MPAs #FaresFairPTV rally. Theres just seven weeks left until the state election - Daniel Andrews and Matthew Guy, will your parties commit to fair fares for Victorias postgrad students?

10.01.2022 Great news! Victorias Vice-Chancellors have written to Minister for Public Transport, Jacinta Allan in support of the Fares Fair PTV campaign! Lets make this win even bigger, and sign and share our petition with your friends now: http://faresfairptv.com.au/take-action/

09.01.2022 Head over to GSA - Graduate Student Association, University of Melbourne page for a chance to win a month of free public transport. Tell us: as a postgrad student, why should you be entitled to public transport concessions?

08.01.2022 Last month we wrote to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan again to make sure that our voices are heard in the lead up to the state election. We were told that the Government has no immediate plans to provide postgraduate students with travel concessions, because the postgraduate students who actually need support can already get it through the existing Health Care Card arrangements. Not only does this argument completely ignore international students, its simply unfai...r that the test for supporting full-time postgrads is higher than that for full-time undergrads. Full-time study requires a full-time commitment, no matter the level of your course. Were asking you to call, email, or leave a Facebook comment for Minister Allan, and tell her that postgraduate students are tired of being neglected. Email: [email protected] Phone: 03 5443 2144

08.01.2022 With Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan still refusing to give us fair fares, Victorias students are taking things into their own hands! The 2017 Swinburne Youth Parliament Team are working on a bill to ensure fairer access to public transport for all students. We wish them the best of luck next Tuesday when they present their Student Transport Affordability Bill to the Youth Parliament of Victoria. #FaresFairPTV #YouthParliament2017

07.01.2022 Today we met with Parliamentary Secretary for Public Transport, Ros Spence, to update her on the campaign. It was a really successful meeting, and support is growing within the Labor camp. Theres exciting things to come in the new few weeks, stay tuned on how you can get involved, and help us make fair fares a reality.

05.01.2022 Spotted in the Herald Sun. "Half of full-time postgraduates earn incomes below the poverty line, yet Victoria is the only state that does not award them a tertiary education concession card". #FaresFairPTV

There will be lots of on-ground campaign activity, free food, music and heaps of prizes to be won. Tuesday, 9 October 2018 11:30am to 2:30pm Northern Plaza, Clayton... Be there and extend your support!!! #FaresFairPTV #FFPTV #Victoria

02.01.2022 Almost 15% of the domestic postgraduate student cohort live in regional or remote areas. While public transport within regional areas can be cheaper than fares in Melbourne, students who need to travel from their home region to the capital face significantly higher costs that their metropolitan peers. We know that regional and remote students are already disadvantaged in their access to higher education. The extra financial burden asked of these students is unfair. Daniel A...ndrews and Jacinta Allan - its time to extend student travel concessions to ALL full time students. #farefairPTV #talkingpointtuesday

01.01.2022 Join the Fares Fair PTV team for an intensive afternoon of campaign training! Interested students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of campaigning and lobbying, and will leave equipped to lobby their local MP for travel concessions for postgrad students. In a year that will certainly see a state election and may well see a federal election, this training will also give you the grounding to lobby MPs on other issues that matter to you.... We will go over how to effectively lobby your MP, key arguments you can make, and role playing exercises. There will also be opportunity to hear from students who have already been involved with the campaign and lobbying politicians. Light snacks provided.
