New "Airline Fuel fee" on some Qatar redemptions via Velocity

Something is definitely going on with fuel surcharges, especially for flights inbound to Australia.

Fees for a J flight from BNE to LHR / WAW and few others are about $1200 now, which is $500 more than before, not great but not a total deal breaker. But the same flight coming back to AUS now includes fees between $2100-$2500 depending on the departure airport.
Could part of that fee LHR-BNE be attributed to the new tax for leaving UK? Or is that a separate rip-off?
