Does paying local shire rates constitute government spend, (thus ineligible for earning QFF points)?

it depends, I do not think ANZ actually uses the word "government spend" so you need to change the question

ANZ excludes "government charges" thats a very different defintion. IMO the definition of this is a Tax or duty, rather than a payment for a service through a credit card merchant. A long time ago there were taxes on bank transactions including deposits (some states only) and I beleive that this is really what these words were intended to describe, not a credit card merchant.

In any case, my ANZ credit card is my go to card for paying everything that might be excluded by other Banks, there is a few now that dont pay points on utilities and insurances.
