Some Australian health experts have suggested that obese airline passengers should start paying a fat tax to cover the cost of transporting their excess weight. The tax would be determined in the same way as excess baggage with customers paying per extra kilo. The calls to introduce the tax come as obesity rates and fuel prices have recently seen a huge rise in Australia. The new proposals are controversial with many people saying it discriminates against people with weight problems.
