A quick google shows this is an old chestnut trotted out every couple years. Hasn't happened yet, and probably never will.
No government is ballsy enough to make a big change like that. |

But yea, I drive 170km a day, so if something like this did happen, I'd be ****ed. I like what someone earlier in the thread said. Change the system for EV, leave the rest of us alone. It's because of EV that there discussing the changes.

I'm all in favour of user pays, but only where its practical, and not just another inefficient method to fleece the taxpayer.
Instead of inventing more, and less efficient, ways to take our money, the government should just revert to collecting tax in the most efficient manner possible. After all, why such a fixation on the motorist, and no attention to any of the other billions of things the government wastes my taxes on? |

to ensure honesty, they'll require you to have a gps data logger, which just happens to capture every time you speed and sends it to the Cash Collection Department.

Do you think that the govt will stop charging rego and fuel tax if they bring in road user charges? It will be an extra tax on top of the existing ones. Look at all the taxes that were supposed to be abolished when they brought in GST. They are still there.

Just like in NSW back when the rego stopped including the GIO third party and they promised the private CTP was going to bring down the cost of rego due to competition ! What a joke. If its one thing I have learned over the years is... If the government say its going to benefit us.....it will not. I'm still waiting for my fast train service between Sydney and Melbourne too.
