Marine Queensland has announced its support in joining RACQ and other major industry groups in a bid to fight the Queensland Government's decision to scrap its fuel subsidy scheme.
Removing the current subsidy saving of 8.35 cents, plus GST, will amount to a tax increase of 9.2 cents on every litre of petrol and diesel.
Marine Queensland General Manager, Don Jones, said scrapping the subsidy would hit the owners of the State's 230, 000 registered recreational vessels hard.
