Thanks all .. got the picture..
Oz used to have a fuel levy, then it was cut and user pays introduced.
Fuel did drop for about 6mths then went even higher when excise tax
applied..(Federal Gov grabs circa 40% of fuel price then there is GST
Tax, State charges etc got the picture)
Lets not mention the efficiency of collecting piddling little amounts of
landing fees..
Lesson there somewhere
