Dawn Newsome,

YES

“They do need more protection, but they also need to know their way around Melbourne.”Rebecca Hughes,

YES

“I guess they do, but then it’s their choice to do the job in the first place.”Stuart Jessup,
Narre Warren

YES

“It’s a dangerous job anyway. If these attacks happen, I suppose you do have to have a way of protecting the taxi drivers.”Lorraine Foreman,
Narre Warren South

YES

“I guess they’re picking up people they don’t know. It’s really dangerous, like hitchhiking but the other way round.”Ron Stainsbury,
Hallam

YES

“This goes all the way back to the ’50s or ’60s when they were going to put in a screen and never did. I’m fully in support of cab drivers in their quest for safer conditions.”
