Just over a month into the 2026 school year and I have already received multiple complaints from local families and now media reports about our local school bus services in #Ipswich and #Logan.
Parents have advised that buses are frequently over capacity, with students standing in aisles, sitting on the stairs beside the driver or being left behind at stops.
There's no point engaging with the local bus companies and despite contacting Translink (who issue the contracts), the situation is not improving.
I have now written to the Minister for Transport and Main Roads (TMR) seeking an urgent review of affected school bus services across our region - to assess capacity and make necessary adjustments, including allocating additional buses or revised timetables.
Safe and reliable school transport must remain a priority, particularly in growth areas where families rely heavily on public transport. ... See MoreSee Less

Charis have you done anything about what was asked off you about Orion Train Station with cars using The Bus Way. ????? ??????
Imagine our disgust when our 10 year old was left at a bus stop this year in Ipswich! A bus stopped and she was told to wait there it was coming. It got to 830 the bus didnt come and I received a phone call from her distressed and crying. Luckily I had a friend grab her. Oh and this was the first day she was supposed to catch it independently!
Thank you, Charis Mullen MP, for raising this issue. On several occasions, my daughter has been left waiting at the bus stop for more than 45 minutes after school due to bus cancellations. I have previously reported this and followed up with a phone call. I was advised that if a child is commuting on public transport, their safety is not the responsibility of the bus company, and that services may be cancelled if a driver is sick or unavailable. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur. However, as a parent who works in the city, I often have no option but to ask my daughter to wait for the next available bus. May I please request that bus services during school hours not be cancelled wherever possible. As parents, we want our children to be safe while also learning independence from an early age, so that we can continue fulfilling our full-time work commitments with peace of mind.

Such a fantastic meeting with Melissa from BLAQ Diamonds Women Empowerment and Michael from gawunsupplies about their "Wear Purple for Change" Campaign. 💜
Through a collaboration with Challenge DV, they have designed a range of distinctive purple GANI YIRRA indigenous-printed work shirts focussed on raising awareness and support in addressing the over-representation of domestic and family violence in our indigenous communities.
Organisations like Downer, Evolution Mining and Civil, Logan City Council, the Brisbane Lions and many others have already jumped onboard - wearing these shirts proudly, starting conversations, and becoming advocates for change - so good! ... See MoreSee Less
