We demand Transport Concession Card Equality”: Victorian International and Postgraduate Students

21 Victorian University and Private College student organisations have joined forces to form the Concession Card Coalition in Victoria

An official media launch was held on Monday 24 August at Cambridge College in Melbourne's CBD.  The Concession Card Coalition had planned to hand out fake transport concession cards to international students as momentum builds for the Fair Fares protest to be held on Wednesday 2 September in Melbourne.

The launch was mentioned in The Age on Tuesday 25 August.

And in other news...
