I think most, possibly all people here would agree with him.
Well I agree.

SYD had not had a noise tax for some years.
(Also, the QK tax went to the State Government.)

Hmmm...that is interesting. I can't remember where (LAN perhaps?) but I was viewing a tax breakdown in the last 12 months and there was an allusion to SYD and noise. Looks like I'm wrong here.
Still, SYD is pretty expensive to go through. In fact, it still irks me that an ex-AU fare is usually more expensive than its vv.-equivalent (i.e. into-AU fare). (This happens in some other countries, too, such as the UK). Although we do have a rather high departure tax....
