Not to mention the 700% increase in the passenger movement charge from $8 to $55. That will be of great assistance to a sector already struggling with a drop in inbound tourism.

This is on top of the budget cuts (sorry, "productivity dividends") in customs and quarantine which lead to bigger queues and length delays for inbound tourists.

Ask yourself whether these customers of Australia, who are coming to experience everything we have to offer, are getting value for their 55 bucks.
