Please note that these are my personal view.
In NSW the state Government wants to charge most 4WD'er and extra $30 per year.
This money may go towards building rail and road for the West of
Sydney.
For me personally, I have no issues with that except, I don't live in
Sydney and possible will not used any of the intended
services.
So like many of the 4WD'ers who are not
Sydney based, apart from paying extra for fuel and have a lack of good roads and public transport I have to pay and extra $30.00 a year. Just like the Desalination plant.... Does nothing for me and I have to pay.
Now this tax comes in at a Kerb weight of about 960kg, even a Barina is a tonne. So the graded road tax will hurt everyone a little and just about all 4WD's
Well don't just sit there,

Axle,
The weight limit starts at 975kg and slide up.
So all those Barina's and similar sized car will get an additional tax on weight.
I do not mind being taxed (brave statement) als long as it is fair and for what it is supposed to be for.
This tax is discriminative and has been announced as a tax to pay for West
Sydney's
infrastructure..... the last 15 years of broken promises rail and road links.
I don't mind paying tolls when I use the M2 or M7 or even the
bridge on the occassions I use them.
Arrggghhh ..
Now I feel better

"NSW state Gov!!,,,,, What a Frigin Mess!!"
How true are those words Axle.
What I detest about this tax is the fact that it is imposed on me because of the weight of my vehicle, I choose to live where I do, I don't expect to have city
services nor do I want them ATM, ;). But what I object to is paying for a service I will not use for day to day living.
30 plus years we've been screaming for a dual lane H/way between
Tweed Heads &
Newcastle, People have lost their lives, Family members & friends on this goat track. 15 years of this is because of political grandstanding, The seats along this route have been held by the National or Liberals.
To any one that votes to keep Labor in power at the next election in NSW, Please don't tell me you voted for them., You need a smack across the face and need to wake up.
