Great idea, as long as the money actually goes to infrastructure and not some consultant's bonus.
Yeah nah, another tax. Tourists already spend heaps here. Leave em alone.
A tax on tax. Great.
Classic, government sees a problem and reaches for our wallets. Bet they won't fix the roads though.
something has to change. Tourism is choking our towns.
Work in tourism. This levy would just make us less competitive. Idiots.
Honestly, if it helps keep our beaches clean and facilities decent, I'm for it.

You're naive if you think the money will see a beach clean.
want them to drive our tourism into the ground?
More tax = more votes. Pfft. They'll blow it on nothing.
As long as the levy applies to Airbnb too. Those guys dodge all the regs.
oath. And Airbnb already costs locals enough.
Can't afford a holiday in my own country anymore. Ffs.
We need better public transport for tourists and locals. If this helps, go for it.
stuffed, we need the tourism dollars.
Typical though, announce it before election then nothing happens.
Exactly. Same old story.
