Probably trying to encourage all their many unlicensed drivers to get one.

[Crazy Dazz]

Wait, what? The NT has Drivers' Licenses?

Gees, next thing you know they'll be wanting people to register their cars.

[aussiblue]

In a fairness perhaps getting to a local testing centre would a major challenge for many living in isolated NT communities. Much easier for those living in major town in cities in other states perhaps with the exception of the northern parts and south eastern part of WA and northern and western parts of SA.

Free licence, well only for one-year, consecutive years you still pay.

Free license for only one year to value of $38 for ease of high cost of living.

-1 year - no fee (previously $38)

- 2 years - $28 (previously $58)

- 5 years - $92 (previously $115)

- 10 years - $178 (previously $198).

Yep. Every time I go to a Main Roads office I leave with a sore anus.

My renewal is up this year too.

Even the fines amount in QLD are excessive, it's like the QLD government looked at VIC and was like HOLD MY BEER! FINES? ILL SHOW YOU FINES!

Fines, rego, everything expensive.

I think 10 year renewal was like $270 or something here.

[Vekgib]

$270 ? That's cheap as ****.

$410 for 10 years here

The previous bunch of dickheads in government thought the best way to pay for everything is just tax the shit out of everything that could possibly be taxed.

You can't get a 10 year licence in Qld, 5 years is max and its $198. The cynic in me says by only offering a 5 year means more revenue raised overall.

My anus is already starting to hurt...

Plus your rego scam of that CTP or whatever junk it is you have to add on, where as it's included in VIC.

My rego renewal on my ute was $613 and half of that is the TAC charge which is included in rego cost.

Then there's QLD with their ridiculous cylinder count rego costs, going by their silly system then EVs should be free to register

Maybe its not the license, its the photo ID and address on record they want.

No such thing as a free lunch.

Did you know that when you do your rego renewal in QLD, you get the option of who you want your CTP to be with? ie: RACQ/AAMI/QBE, Suncorp, etc?

The stupid thing? every option has been the same price for several years now!

Ah yes, except if me and you agreed on pricing, the ACCC calls us a 'cartel'.

[Jastel]

Well we do get 50c bus fares in Qld....gotta pay for them somehow.
IF only everyone else would use them so there is less traffic for me....

Surely if you're gonna charge 50c for public transport fares the administration costs outweigh charging 50 cents per fare and you might as well as make it free.

Like it would cost more to charge 50c fares than have no fees.

Franco... You are trying to find logic in Queensland Government brain fart policies.

For the sake of your sanity, I advise give up trying to understand it and just accept.
