Yet another living in Australia tax on top of the fairly high tax rates we already pay to top up successive governments who keep putting people with no experience in an area portfolios to keep their cliques and private corporate backers happy.

Maybe if they made DHL, Fastway and other services pay the correct corporate tax there would be no need to slug the people twice or more for nothing.
