Industry outraged at Labor plan to raise passenger levy

[Eastwest Loco]

Hi good peoples.

I have found that Australia is taxing its departing passengers at a higher level than most other countries.

Take for instance a journey Auckland Jakarta via Sydney, for the sake of the arguement using the red rat. The taxes on this trip are $118.00. If you simply fly Sydney Jakarta return the taxes are $135.90.

Doesn't make a lot of sense does it?

Best regards
