yeah nah the government needs to get their act together. tourists use the facilities, they should pay. simple as that.
facts. tourists are literally shitting in our national parks, they can chip in a few bucks lol
oh great another tax. like we don't already pay enough rates. typical councils just want more money to waste on bike lanes nobody uses.
here we go, someone who thinks all tax is theft. what would you do then, ban tourists? good luck with that mate
tbh i think it's fair. we spent so much on infrastructure for tourists and locals have to foot the bill? nah get stuffed.
i don't mind paying a bit extra if it means cleaner toilets and better roads. have you seen the state of some tourist towns? it's rough.

will this actually go to the right places or just disappear into council coffers? knowing them it'll be another 'study'.
honestly same. i don't trust the councils as far as i can throw em. but something has to change
as someone working in a hotel, this just means more paperwork for us. why can't they just add it to everyone's bill and move on? ffs.
exactly. just make it part of the room charge. done. why does everything have to be a whole drama
