A tax/levy increase I approve of

The Post reports:

The Government is doubling the “offender levy” all convicted criminals pay to $100 – far higher than the rate of inflation.

The higher fee will generate about $2.6 million extra for the Government, all of it to be spent on victim services.

This levy sits outside any fine or other penalty imposed as part of conviction.

It was introduced in 2011 at $50 and intended to fund victim entitlements such as the victim assistance scheme, the homicide caseworker service, and the national home safety service.

Excellent. Shift more money from criminals to victims.
