“If he flew today, the cheapest flight from Mr Griffin's hometown of Cloncurry in Queensland to Darwin was $979 one-way on Virgin, with two stopovers and a total journey time of 25 hours”
The airlines have been bleeding passengers for decades. If you add up Cloncurry’s passenger head taxes, security charges and aircraft landing tonnage fees you will quickly see that the bullshit rhetoric that Joyce and Borghetti have been spinning that airport fees are to blame for high airfares is a crock of shit. The airlines love gouging the Bush, particularly if only one of the two majors operate on that specific route.
