I'm not sure what alternative universe you live in but the Australian government has a revenue problem and they're not likely going to let go of a revenue source, look at the taxes on fuel per litre + GST on top of the various 'levy'.

Or speed camera proliferation in VIC is another good example and fines for 3km/h over the limit.

Look at Japan, the older cars get the more expensive they get to register then they export them to Australia and NZ - that's also another alternative.
