Flyboy, Australians like most countries get ripped off by the tax office, the coppers, the government, the local council, insurance companies, petroleum companies, food and commodities suppliers, politicians and bureaucrats in receipt of huge pay rises, we pay two lots of tax on our hard earned dollars (income tax and GST), then pay airport security taxes on top of the airfare(for what i might add?), subjected to outrageous industrial relations laws and pay the Indonesian govt a VAT when entering Indonesia. It's easy to get onto this forum and have a go at Australians who contribute to the ailing economy of Bali and help pay your wages (I gather you are employed by the airlines as no-one in their right mind would be as stupid as you to make such a posting), but now we have to put up with a pleb like you going on about something that has little importance in the scheme of things.
