I've thought this a great idea since first heard. User pays. Nobody can't and no excuses. Bloody good idea.

As there are 250,000 notices issued for no rego it has to be a big saving.

Brilliant idea - will increase the tax take by lots as now no unregistered vehicles at all.Could never understand why you need a wof to get a rego, should have been other way around.

i think its stupid. why the hell should you have a rego cost for mowing the lawn/ cutting the hedge. Whats wrong with paying for your rego seprate!

Just what I was thinking. Same for boats - and that also includes me.

Why should the honest people pay for there rego and the other 250,000 people who dont pay and still use the roads and services. Users pays.

My God, didnt read that bit - and I bet each of those costs more than $10 to process, most more than a $100, and a significant proportion result in no recovery at all. At an average $100 each which is probably optimistic thats 25 million in savings/ gains right there

more fairer than paying 300 a year for cars that go out in weekends only or even 600 for a bike. Especially when you pay the set acc and rego set fee every time you get a rego on multiple vehicles.

How do you know!Do you know how much the government is going to add to the fuel price!

Alot fairer than paying 600 a year for the rego, it won't be that much on the price per litre of gas
Users pays is a lot more fairer than a set fee that you pay on every vehicle you own

farmers get tax rebate on petrol bought for non road use,tax from boaties used for coastguard, marine safety education etc, as for the lawn mower i dunno how big your lawn is but i use about 500mls a week

You wouldn't want to live next door to someone who collects old rust buckets to do up. Would be able to park them all out in street. Good for us motorbikers though, we wouldn't be able to be gouged by acc and their dodgy stats. Would crime go up and the cops have a harder time! At the moment one could assume that they probably do well catching a few crims after using the probable cause of expired rego to pull them over and inspect.

rust buckets world not be able to be parked on the street without a wof.

2 cents a litre would probably cover it

Cant see it , more likely to put in barcode system so taxed on roads you drive . Pay more for entering cities, much more revenue .

I would be happy to pay 5 cents a litre.
