## Resource

Queensland’s Patient Travel Subsidy is getting a fuel rate boost to 45 cents per km — up from 34 cents — with $17 million added to help regional patients travel for care. But advocates call it a “drop in the ocean,” pointing to unchanged accommodation support and pushing for rates as high as 86 cents per km. The Premier calls it a start, aiming for the nation’s most generous scheme, while also promising faster reimbursements — from up to 30 days to just one week. Meanwhile, the budget includes a two-year bulk water price freeze for southeast Queensland and a call for energy companies to pass on lower electricity costs. Opposition leaders say these measures fall short, especially without serious housing affordability plans. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
