Getting around — car, public transport, walking, cycling, ride-share, regional access, licensing.

Why it matters: Transport is the silent tax on outer-suburb and regional households and a major emissions lever. Licence loss is a justice-system feeder for First Nations Australians. Mobility-aid damage is routine in air travel. The 120-logbook-hour learner regime is a class barrier for kids without a parent who can take them out.

What it looks like across cohorts

Highest-leverage ideas

• Outer-suburb on-demand transit (medium) — demand-responsive minibuses in growth-corridor LGAs, federal-subsidised, state-operated. (i011)
• National rego common-clock (small) — single national rego/registration portal so moving states doesn't break renewal. (i012)
• Remote licensing on country (small) — mobile licensing units with fines amnesty + on-country supervised hours. (i027)
• National licence-recognition list (small) — single up-to-date federal list of recognised foreign licences. (i040)
• DVA travel auto-claim (small) — auto-reimburse medical-travel based on appointment data. (i052)
• Air-travel mobility-aid guarantee (small) — mandatory carrier reimbursement and replacement service. (i065)
• Learner-driver subsidy (small) — subsidised learner-driver lessons + instructor pool in regional and disadvantaged areas. (i077)
• OSHC-bus fund (small) — federal grants for school + OSHC shared transport in low-supply suburbs. (i089)
