Title: Axe the car tax petition
Post by: 69DirtyRat on July 02, 2010, 11:24:29 PM

"Join the campaign calling on the NSW Labor Government to axe its proposed new $500 million tax on vehicle registrations in NSW.

Recently current Premier Kristina Keneally announced her latest attack on NSW motorists. Kristina Keneally & NSW Labor are going to tax drivers to pay for their Sydney Transport Election Scam.

What makes it worse is that the big new tax depends on the size of your car. This means people driving medium to large cars will be taxed to the max.

It is especially unfair on people in regional areas. Firstly, they are paying a new tax for Sydney transport infrastructure, which they wont have regular access to and secondly, country people drive long distances on bad roads and need bigger cars.

In addition, Labor's dubious record on infrastructure delivery means that the projects motorists are paying for will probably never be delivered.

This big new tax is a bad idea and the NSW Liberals & Nationals have already started taking up the fight.
Sign the online petition today and help Axe Labor’s Car Tax!"

By my definition, any money you pay to a government is a tax, so the fee for car rego is already a tax.
They want us to pay a tax on a tax.

Yeah, but they say it's an excise, not a tax - which makes it all fine and dandy......NOT!
