I warned everyone that this would happen!! It’s unbelievable and the inevitable trend!! A Sydney Council has begun slugging ratepayers with a credit card surcharge for paying online!! Raking in up to $1m extra. Read about it here: http://mobile.news.com.au/finance/business/sydney-council-slugs-ratepayers-up-to-1nbspmillion-to-pay-by-credit-card/story-fnkjidjt-1227475548132 Joe Hockey, you must act now to ban credit card surcharges in Australia! We don’t want a “capped credit card surcharge” either as this is all this will do is add a government sanctioned credit card surcharge to EVERY purchase we make. And you know what happens with caps right? They eventually get lifted! Can you help by emailing key Cabinet Ministers today telling them that you urgently want a ban on credit card surcharges - I have listed their email addresses below: Minister for Finance: senator.cormann@aph.gov.au Minister for Social Services: scott.morrison.mp@aph.gov.au Minister for Small Business: b.billson.mp@aph.gov.au Minster for Communications: malcolm.turnbull.mp@aph.gov.au Prime Minister: peta.credlin@pm.gov.au We’re getting close! Greedy companies must stop ripping off Australians with these ludicrous surcharges on purchases and bill payments, and Joe Jockey needs to act to have them banned.
