TRUCKING CHARGES * Australia: Calls for direct ones

* ACT - A national road user charge scheme

-- The peak national freight transport body has called for a national road user charge scheme, requesting it be considered at the upcoming Premiers’ retreat... Australian Logistics Council managing director Michael Kilgariff said a more open pricing mechanism more closely linking road charges with road investment deserved to be considered by all levels of government... But the Australian Trucking Association was less impressed, saying plenty of work was needed by government before moving ahead...

There would also need to be an independent economic regulator to approve charging proposals...
