This actually is Vaughan Johnson.

AN Opposition MP has criticised overseas-born taxi drivers and questioned whether some illegally share the same licence because they "all look the same".

Speaking in Queensland Parliament, LNP MP Vaughan Johnson lashed out at taxi drivers who did not know their way around Brisbane.

"I have got to also touch on some of our brothers from overseas that are driving these taxis, and haven't I had a hell of a drive with some of them lately," Mr Johnson said before detailing his bad experiences including paying $75 for a cab between the airport and city that went via outer Indooroopilly.

"Some of these drivers I wonder if they do have a licence, I wonder if they just flick it to the next bloke because they all look the same," he said.

Mr Johnson's comments came days after the nation's transport ministers agreed to new national standards for taxi drivers including ensuring they could find major landmarks and speak basic English.
