So you are sayng thee are no taxes levivied on AVGAS in Australia ??
We are now paying $2:10 to $2:40 (Depending where), you can buy premium ULP for $1:50. How do you work out we are not paying duty/taxes? A couple of years ago (Well mebe more) I remember paying around 60C a litre when lil johnny's friend John Anderson was aviation or minister for transport. They decided it wasn't fair for those rich aircraft owners to get fuel so cheap so the price went up to around $1:10? I'm not sure if it was duty, tax or just cause they could but Avgas definately has some component of gov ripoff.
