The Northern Territory government is holding ridesharing service Uber as "a sword of Damocles" over the head of taxi operators who don't lift their game, the territory's transport minister says. The government has announced a series of reforms for the commercial passenger vehicle industry (including taxis buses, minibuses, charters and private car hires) and says that for the time being Uber will remain banned. The NT's taxi industry in particular has been the subject of many complaints, such as an overall lack of taxis, drivers refusing fares for distances that are too short or too far, and excessive card surcharges.
