Carindale’s Karen Munro said her husband Neil was just one of more than 10,000 Queenslanders who could be affected if the decision was not reversed.
She said she could no longer get her husband, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, around in the car and Mr Belcher’s services were the only way that they could get out and about.
Mrs Munro said they only used the taxi about once a week, but the subsidy would still not be enough.
“Getting Neil to places is only possible with the help of Gerry and to see him go out of business would be terrible,” she said. “For so many people, these taxis are the only way of getting out, and $400 is nothing in the larger scheme of things.”
Mrs Munro said she was luckier than some who would be extremely disadvantaged by the change.
“For many people who rely on the pension, it would be really dire,” she said.

3. Facebook is personal. Work is professional. Different worlds, right?
Well, probably not as far as your young employees are concerned. According to a new survey of Facebook data by Millennial Branding, a “personal branding” advertising agency, young people keep Facebook only nominally personal. While 80 percent of those aged 18-29 list a school affiliation, only 36 percent list an employer affiliation.
The catch? Young people have “friended” an average of 16 colleagues each, according to the study, which was released Monday.
