As the EU Carbon Trading tax (a capricious tax) is to be levied based upon the carbon emissions from the flights originating point, even though that place could be many thousands of miles distant from ‘Europe’, I propose that the Australian Government extend their ‘Flood Levy’ tax (another capricious tax) to all Europeans visiting Australia. Of course those European residents living farther west of Istanbul would need to pay a greater tax on a sliding scale, for the very same reasons that the EU propose to tax activities outside of their area of governance. ‘Fares, fair’ (pun intended)
