We, the undersigned, find the discrimination by the NSW State Government deplorable. We demand that the Transport Administration Act (1988) be changed immediately to allow international students to access public transport in NSW at the same rate as domestic students.
We find the discrimination practised by the State Government of NSW to be exploitative in the extreme. International students contribute millions of dollars annually to the NSW economy through high tuition fees, high taxation rates, and high transport fares. The NSW Government must stop double-dipping into the pockets of international students!
We will deliver this petition into the hands of the NSW parliament on Wednesday 2nd September 2009, with a rally beginning at 1 pm in the UTS Tower Building forecourt and marching to NSW State Parliament House.

- the issue of travel concession is a typical form of discrimination to international students in NSW and Victoria. It is time for the state Gov and federal gov to step in and change this unfortunate situation. It is a shame that Australia of 2010 still adopt discriminatory policies.

- International students are putting themselves at risk by walking home late at night as they can't afford full fare on top of exorbitant tuition fees and other expenses. End the blatant discrimination NOW!!!
