Frank,
Are you off your medication mate......finally a post I agree with
Just joshin with ya
Reality is that GA struggles with costs as it is, and some folk might easily scoff at a 6.5CPL increase however look at any charter gig, flying school. I have a mate with the aforementioned increase of $60K+ to his business in jet fuel, his Avgas bill per year just went up $2000 and that is a tragedy as a fair chunk of that will be sharing at his expense (a very rare in Australia) Warbird. So go ask all the AWAL members how much spare coin they are willing to throw at sharing their passion with others.
As Porchie has pointed out, this is an unwanted, unfair and moronic tax.
For aviation it is really bad.
