Hi john, I moved your query to this older relevant topic.
The ACCC position is, and specifically read the first example.
Note that banks charge a business percentages, but some airlines charge a flat fee, and the latter is only glibly referenced without definition. It is essentially a wink-wink nudge-nudge situation as I see it.
Choice seems to agree, using different terminology and looking at foreign carriers. I also enjoy the difference between a surcharge and other equivalent words for the same outcomes of dollars in pockets.
I hope that helps understand how and why we continue to be subjected to these ripoffs.
