You are correct in stating that you can still fight the level of the fee – it's not set in concrete as yet. However, as with the legislation itself, there is no electoral or other political risk to the government in imposing the fee.

Very few government imposts get reduced or removed after introduction, so lets try to nip this one 'in the bud'.
