Are you implying that there is a definite system in place to discriminate against VFR pilots in order to generate revenue.

I have heard aircraft attempting to get a VFR clearance across a place like Sydney and the clearance is simply not available. However if the same aircraft files IFR and pays the enroute charge, the clearance is most often immediately available with no delays. Of course, Airservices earns money from IFR flight plans – even in CAVOK conditions – whereas they make no money from VFR enroute flights.
Wouldn't that be illegal??

But then you have no problem making similar claims against ATCs on radio stations so why not here.

Don't you think you are becoming a bit of a conspiracy theorist?

Time to face up to the facts and present your facts or back down as you are just opening yourself further up to the lawyers.
