As if the government is going to get rid of a cash cow, like coodashooda said, once it is introduced thats it.

The travelling public just hand over the money, get on the plane and fly to their destination. Australians as a whole are very weak minded and forget about issues once they are out of the media. The government relies on that.

Funny though, the employees of FlightWest didn't get a red cent from the government, before the old bloke passed away, he guaranteed all monies would be paid............................ alas "administrator" fees put paid to that.

Taxes on tickets are shocking, in some cases are more than the id 90 fare!
