TRUCK INDUSTRY * Australia - Heavy charges concerns raised
* A. Capitol Territory - Trucking urges transport ministers to be fair when they discuss heavy vehicle charges
-- Transport ministers should agree to lower heavy vehicle fees next financial year to make up for years of overcharging, according to the Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association (ALRTA)... The lobby group has put forward its proposal for registration and fuel charges ahead of a crucial meeting this week that will decide fees for the 2016-2017 financial year... Australia’s transport ministers will gather on November 6 to discuss charges, which ALRTA president Kevin Keenan says are currently far above what industry should be paying... The NTC proposed changes to the existing charging system in 2014 to prevent the trucking industry being charged too much, but transport ministers decided to delay implementation until July 1 next year...
