More important is what we are doing
in support of seniors in Western Australia. As I said, there are more than 16 concessions.
With this webpage and the new third party, we will be able to go out there and
tell our seniors what they can do. There is free public transport for seniors
outside peak hours, 24/7, all weekends and all over Easter. There are a raft of
discounts available to the Museum and to national parks so that they can go out
and see them. All that is available through the WA Seniors Card. We want to
tell more seniors about it so they can actually access those discounts.
